The 4th edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale opens in Kochi, Kerala, India on 12th December 2018 and runs to 29th March 2019. The fourth edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale is curated by eminent Indian artist Anita Dube. Participating artists are from India, Austria, Thailand, Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Switzerland, China and beyond...
The Kochi-Muziris Biennale seeks to invoke the latent cosmopolitan spirit of the modern metropolis of Kochi and its mythical past, Muziris, and create a platform that will introduce contemporary international visual art theory and practice to India, showcase and debate new Indian and international aesthetics and art experiences and enable a dialogue among artists, curators, and the public.
The Kochi-Muziris Biennale seeks to create a new language of cosmopolitanism and modernity that is rooted in the lived and living experience of this old trading port, which, for more than six centuries, has been a crucible of numerous communal identities. Kochi is among the few cities in India where pre-colonial traditions of cultural pluralism continue to flourish.
As part of her research and curatorial process, the artistic director Anita Dube visited a total of 29 countries where she was hosted by a wide array of arts institutions and independent supporters of the Biennale.
