International Exhibit Review
Due:  Before December 2

Please select one of the international contemporary art exhibits from those listed on the museums and exhibits page (link from the first page of the course webpage).  These are listed under "International Exhibits" and include the Venice Biennale, Documenta (note that artists' internet projects for this exhibit are listed separately on their website's first page under "links"), the Sao Paulo Biennale, Johannesburg Biennale, the Sharjah Biennale, the Asia-Pacific Triennial, the Istanbul Biennial, the Taipei Biennial, the Havanah Biennial, and the Prague Biennial. 

Visit the exhibit's website.  Read about the history and current practices of the exhibit, while also looking at the art shown (note that works may be found under "countries exhibited" or "artists"--you will have to do a bit of "surfing" of the exhibits' sites).  Write a typed review/analysis (approximately no more than two pages in length) of two works of art by different artists from one exhibit, including the following information:

Exhibit:

Where is the exhibit held?
Which countries are represented in this exhibit?
How are artists chosen?
How often is this exhibit held?
When was this exhibit started?

Artists:

Where is this artist from?
Where do they currently live/work?
What drew you to their work?
What issues from class are relevant to this artist's work?
Does this artist's work remind you of any other artists' work you know?  In what ways?
