Скачать или смотреть Presentation: Redefining the Role of Art Institutions

This presentation by Silke Schmickl, titled ‘Redefining the Role of Art Institutions’, evaluates the role of the National Gallery of Singapore in researching, presenting and conserving the world’s largest collection of South East Asian, modern and contemporary art.

Schmickl presents research published in an essay bearing the same title that was commissioned for the March Meeting Papers. Selected through the March Meeting 2021 open call, the essays included in the March Meeting Papers expand on curator Okwui Enwezor’s influential thinking about the Biennial as a platform to engage with history, politics and society. Taken together, these essays reveal the extent to which the biennial model, such as the Sharjah Biennial, has contributed to the realisation of new narratives and experiences of modern and contemporary art.

Organised by Sharjah Art Foundation, March Meeting is an annual gathering that brings together artists, curators and art practitioners to consider vital issues in contemporary art. The 13th edition of March Meeting, ‘Unravelling the Present’, examined the role of Sharjah Biennial and the future of the biennial model. Held between 12 and 21 March, MM 2021 featured online talks, panels and presentations as well as on-site film screenings.

This talk took place on the MM 2021 virtual platform on Sunday, 21 March.
