Rieke Vos: Sonsbeek Support Structures
In her talk curator Rieke Vos will reflect upon the balance and tensions between support structures and artistic merits of periodical art events, in this case Sonsbeek. A periodical art event like Sonsbeek has many stakeholders with multitudinous ambitions and desires. Governments, sponsors, administrators, artists, curators, publics, beneficiaries, collaborators - a plurality of interests that, one way or the other, is implied in the final outcome. This talk will be about autonomy and implication and how to make conditional support work for you.
To do this Rieke Vos will look at support structures of subsequent Sonsbeek exhibitions and compare them with other midscale town periodical exhibitions, such as the Mercosul Biennial in Porto Alegre, Le Biennale de Rennes and Skulpture Münster.
