The Kochi-Muziris Biennale is an international exhibition of modern art that takes place in Kochi,
Kerala, India. It is both the greatest contemporary art festival in Asia and the largest art exhibition
in the nation. The Kerala State Government has supported the Kochi Biennale Foundation's proposal. Dr.
Venu IAS, the culture secretary for the Keralan government, came up with the idea for the Kochi-Muziris
Biennale and carried it out. The exhibition is spread out over Kochi, with performances taking place in
already-existing galleries and halls and site-specific works in parks, historic buildings, and abandoned
buildings.
A variety of mediums are incorporated, including cinema, installation, painting, sculpture, new media,
and performance art by Indian and international artists.
The Kochi-Muziris Biennale seeks to invoke the latent cosmopolitan spirit of the modern metropolis of
Kochi and its mythical past, Muziris, to create a platform that will introduce contemporary, global visual
art theory and practice to India.
It will attempt to showcase and debate new Indian and international aesthetics and experiences and enable
a dialogue among artists, curators, cultural practitioners and the public.
