Biennale, an event is aiming at bringing the art in conversations with the city and people. With the idea of making art more accessible to people, it scouts for spaces and tries to find a way to fit into the public realm and activate it. Art uses the biennale as a medium to communicate with the people by moving into the city fabric, by which it makes direct conversations with the city.
Further carrying the idea of biennale which entails happening progressively in the future in terms of expansions of the existing ones or emerging ones, it seems to happen more in a public realm like streets and open spaces and with the ideas of reusing the building infrastructure as an active generator for the Biennale. The biennale sets out as a tool of transformation of these diverse characters of buildings and spaces in the city. It is giving a new life back to these unused structures for temporary use. Art exhibitions happening in these existing buildings, holding the historical significance ties back to its history-making the biennale very contextual.
Biennale, happening in these diverse locations in the city creates a transformation pattern at the city level. This seems to be a way in which future exhibitions will take place, which is unbounded to the set of spaces. It is therefore important to see that if we are poised at this threshold, that we have these biennales happening and more likely to occur in the future, it is therefore relevant to understand biennales in the Indian context and specifically in terms of transformations and factors that inform these transformations.
In this sort of a context where art is moving into the public realm and alternate spaces, how transformations due to the biennale respond to the city?
