The 14th Taipei Biennial – slated to open in November 2024 – will be curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, Taipei Fine Arts Museum has announced.
Currently serving as directors of Hamburger Bahnhof – National Gallery of Contemporary Art in Berlin, the Lebanese-German curator duo are founders and directors of the curatorial platform ‘Art Reoriented’, launched in 2009, through which they have collaborated with over 70 international museums. Previously, they led the 16th Lyon Biennale titled Manifesto of Fragility in 2022, and have curated multiple national pavilions at the Venice Biennale, including the French pavilion in 2020, the UAE pavilion in 2019 and the Lebanon pavilion in 2013.
With a professional background in art history, theatre, economics and political science, Bardaouil and Fellrath are interested in the interplay between local and global contexts, as well as various models of cultural engagement.
‘In line with our ongoing commitment,’ the curators said, ‘our curatorial approach will prioritize the artists, allowing their voices to continuously broaden our understanding of the complex worlds we inhabit.’
