Abstract
Questo volume esplora il fenomeno delle biennali analizzandone le dimensioni artistiche, geopolitiche e istituzionali. Pur concentrandosi principalmente su due grandi eventi, la Biennale di Venezia e quella di San Paolo, i saggi ampliano lo sguardo ad altre biennali, mostre e istituzioni, offrendo prospettive comparative e relazionali. Il volume mette in luce la complessità storica delle biennali e il loro ruolo come dispositivi culturali, evidenziandone la funzione di spazi di sperimentazione e legittimazione all’interno di più ampie tensioni politiche e istituzionali.
