Indiarsquo;s Kochi-Muziris Biennale has been described as one of the most significant newly emergent biennales; alongside Shanghai; Sharjah and Dakar. However; there have been few sustained and critical studies of these events as specific sites of production and reception of contemporary art. This book; engaging with the Kochi Biennale; provides detailed examination of what the editors term as the lsquo;biennale effectrsquo; mdash; a layered contestation of place; economics; art and politics. It presents a close reading of the unique context of the biennale as well as sets out a broader critical framework for understanding global contemporary art and its effects. Replete with illustrations; this book will serve as an important and rare resource for scholars and researchers of contemporary art; art history; visual cultures; and media studies.
