This museum talk will introduce us to the culture of biennales. Currently, there are purportedly more than 237 biennials worldwide. What exactly is it and why are they important? Shanghai is the site of one of the world’s most famous Asian art exhibitions and is in preparation to host the 2020 edition this fall.
