Shanghai 13th Biennial releases partial lists of artists

On April 2nd the Shanghai Biennale announced a partial list of artists for its 13th edition as well as its upcoming exhibition to feature 64 artists, 33 of which will present new commissions, at the Power Station of Art (PSA) and other venues across the city.
This edition of the Biennial, curated by architect and writer Andrés Jaque, will take place over the period time of nine months, beginning in November with a five-day inaugural summit, followed by five months of presentations and programming. The theme of the main exhibition is “Bodies of Water,” and the show's inspiration comes from the interdependent relationship between humans and our increasingly imperiled climate.
In a statement, chief curator Andrés Jaque said, “The 13th Shanghai Biennale advocates for the momentous contribution that art plays in the reconstruction of a world shaped by environmental, social and political distress. The Biennale is sensitive to the way art constitutes and infiltrates life itself, and to its capacities for bodied reparation, transformation and dissidence.”
The exhibition opens on April 17 and runs through July 25. Below is the list of participating artists, with remaining artists to be announced on April 15th:
Alberto Baraya (Colombia); Nerea Calvillo (C+arquitectas) (Spain); Carlos Casas (Spain); Feliciano Centurión (Paraguay); Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen (United Kingdom); Cooking Sections (Daniel Fernández Pascual and Alon Schwabe) (United Kingdom); Debajo del Sombrero (Andrés Fernández, José Manuel Egea, Miguel García, María Lapastora and Belén Sánchez) (Spain); Pepe Espaliú (Spain); Guo Fengyi (China); Joan Jonas (United States); Ana Mendieta (Cuba, United States); Antoni Muntadas (Spain, United States); Cecilia Vicuña (Chile, United States); Michael Wang (United States) and Qiu Zhen (China), among others.
