The 13th Shanghai Biennale, Bodies of Water starts its in crescendo programme convening artists, activists, scientists, thinks, and citizens at large to sense, discuss, and reconstruct wet-togetherness.
Challenging the usual art biennale format, it will be the first stage of an eight-month extended programme that will allow the artists, thinkers and curators contributing to the Biennale to develop their work in close collaboration with the City of Shanghai, its people, networks of activism, organizations, and institutions. Bodies of Water will culminate with the opening of PHASE 03: AN EXHIBITION on April 10, 2021.
The Biennale’s Chief Curator, architect and writer Andrés Jaque, and its curatorial team composed of You Mi, Marina Otero Verzier, Lucia Pietroiusti, and Filipa Ramos, are collaborating with the School of Philosophy of Fudan University, the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, and the multimedia network DOCU TV to run the five-day performed assembly, where lectures, debates, screenings, and workshops will turn the Power Station of Art into a space for bodily experimentation.
AC/E supports the participation of chief curator Andrés Jaque, curator Marina Otero, designer Paula Vilaplana, and artists Debajo del Sombrero (Lola Barrera, José Manuel Egea, Andrés Fernández, Miguel García, María Lapastora, Belén Sánchez), Nerea Calvillo, Carlos Casas, Carlos Irijalba, Antoni Muntadas, Itziar Okariz, Daniel Fernández Pascual, Iván López Munuera as well as works by Pepe Espaliú.
