SCYTALE

2011 | Sharjah Biennial 10 | Émirats Arabes Unis

The Spartan scytale is the communication tool that does the most harm to the universality of language.

The curatorial framework for the 10th edition of the Sharjah Biennial, titled Plot for a Biennial draws on the idea of a treatment for film, replete with a plot, characters and motives. It is woven from a constellation of key words and themes that include Treason, Necessity, Insurrection, Affiliation, Corruption, Devotion, Disclosure and Translation.
