Taipei Biennial 2020 Announces 39 Artists, Curated by Bruno Latour and Martin Guinard
Set to commence on 24 October, the Taipei Biennial showcases the work of 39 artists hailing from 18 different nations. Curators Bruno Latour and Martin Guinard have chosen participants such as Mika Rottenberg, Erika Balsom, and Aruwai Kaumakan. The exhibition, entitled 'You and I Don’t Live on the Same Planet,' weaves together political and diplomatic strategies within the framework of environmental discussions. Latour and Guinard contend that contemporary ecological issues are tied to the physical characteristics of the planet, criticizing previous attempts to achieve unity through mere symbolism. They promote a realpolitik approach that acknowledges ecological factors, aiming to create 'new diplomatic encounters' in the exhibition's imagined realm, focusing on dialogue to tackle environmental challenges.
