Third edition of Kochi-Muziris Biennale, a 108-day-long festival of contemporary art, commenced from December 12.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the third edition on Monday evening.
Biennale will feature performances and production of 97 artists from 31 countries. “Forming the pupil of the eye” is the theme for third biennale.
“‘Forming in the pupil of an eye’ is not an image of one reality, but a reflection of multiple realities and of multiple possibilities in time. My curatorial approach was shaped therefore as a conversation between different streams and forms of art practice. This Biennale is intended as a dialogue between multiple perspectives and possibilities as it evolves within the space and through the duration of the Biennale and beyond,” Curator Sudarshan Shetty told media.
The event is spread across 12 venues in and around Kochi and will include programs such as Students’ Biennale, conversations, talks, seminars, the Art By Children and the Pepper House Residency exhibitions, workshops, artists’ cinema and music sessions, among other activities.
