Jitish Kallat appointed to chair curator selection for the next Kochi-Muziris Biennale, enhancing contemporary art dialogue.
The Kochi Biennale Foundation has announced that contemporary artist and curator Jitish Kallat will assume the role of president of the Kochi–Muziris Biennale to chair the selection of the curator for the next edition.
The announcement was made by Venu V., chairperson of the foundation.
Mr. Kallat, who lives and works in Mumbai, is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Kochi Biennale Foundation. He previously served as curator of the second edition of the Kochi–Muziris Biennale (2014-15), titled Whorled Explorations.
He takes on this responsibility following the decision of Bose Krishnamachari, co-founder of the Biennale, to step down earlier this year, according to a communication.
Dr. Venu said that Mr. Kallat’s long association with the Biennale and his international experience in the contemporary art field make him well placed to take this forward.
Mr. Kallat said that the Kochi–Muziris Biennale has played “an extraordinary role” in shaping conversations around contemporary art in India and beyond.
