Entitled Starting from the Desert. Ecologies on the Edge, the Second Yinchuan Biennale will open on 9 June, 2018, at the MOCA Yinchuan. With the Chief Curator Marco Scotini, the Yinchuan Biennale is pleased to announce the curatorial team consisting of Andris Brinkmanis, Paolo Caffoni, Zasha Colah, and Lu Xinghua.
Conceived with the aim of measuring itself against a determinate geo-historic context, and with the purpose of presenting itself as a sort of minor language within the biennale system, Starting from the Desert. Ecologies on the Edge reacts to urgencies in the contemporary world (not only in China) through archeological methods. The North-West of China, notoriously considered a remote area, is also one which, since the time of the historic Silk Road, has been defined as an area of great flows, hybridizations and exchange between people, languages, technologies, animals, spices and goods.
With respect to the possible reduction of the Euro-Asian continent to pure geo-economics, which current large-scale, transformative projects could imply, the Second Yinchuan Biennale seeks to read the relationalities and modalities of ‘being together’ in the cross road of multiple components, as essential for a new ecology aiming to emancipate forms of life. In search for eco-logics as a new paradigm of transversal thought, the Second Yinchuan Biennale attempts to, not reduce these elements to subject matter, but to utilize them in order to question the limits of the exhibition format, and thus to eventually produce a new eco-model of exhibiting.
