2016 Kuandu Biennale

Asialink Arts in collaboration with Australian curator Glenn Barkley and artist Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran will participate in the 2016 Kuandu Biennale this September in Taipei.  This biennale adopts an original format where 10 curators, from 10 countries each curate an artist/collective into the biennale.  This structure provides an Australian curator and artist the opportunity to work in an international biennale context with other professionals from across the region and includes a 1-day forum where curators and artists are invited to present on various panels.

Glenn and Ramesh’s involvement in the Kuandu Biennale provides a new voice for ceramics, confirming Australia as a producer of significant and innovative ceramics, unbridled by traditions and technical limitations.

Artist: Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran

Curator: Glenn Barkley
