Sharjah Art Foundation today announced an initial selection of participating artists for the next Sharjah Biennial, opening in March 2019. Featuring established and emerging international artists from around the globe, the 14th edition of the Sharjah Biennial (SB14), Leaving the Echo Chamber, explores the possibilities and purpose of producing art when history is increasingly fictionalised, when ideas of ‘society’ are invariably displaced, when borders and beliefs are under constant renegotiation and our material culture is under the constant threat of human destruction and climate degradation.
SB14 will feature exhibitions by curators Zoe Butt, Omar Kholeif and Claire Tancons, bringing together a range of experiences and works—including major commissions, large-scale public installations, performances and films to explore how contemporary life, enabled by rapid technological change, has created a seemingly inescapable ‘echo chamber’ of information, complex personal networks and shifting narratives that are physical, spiritual and virtual.
An initial selection of participating artists in each of the three exhibitions follows below with the complete line-up to be announced in the coming months:
Journey Beyond The Arrow, curated by Zoe Butt, will include works by: Khadim Ali Meiro Koizumi Nalini Malani Tuan Andrew Nguyen Ho Tzu Nyen Ahmad Fuad Osman Lisa Reihana Kidlat Tahimik
Making New Time, curated by Omar Kholeif, will include works by:
Huguette Caland Lubaina Himid Barbara Kasten Marwan Otobong Nkanga Jon Rafman Akram Zaatari
Look for Me All Around You, curated by Claire Tancons, will include works by: Caline Aoun Aline Baiana Nikolaus Gansterer Eisa Jocson Isabel Lewis Ulrik López Carlos Martiel Wu Tsang
