Title: A story within a story
Description: A story within a story'? explores history as a radical act by focusing on socially engaged projects, which interrogate notions of collective memory and publicness from transnational and transhistorical perspectives. Taking the notion of open work as both a conceptual backdrop and curatorial methodology, GIBCA 2015 will question the structure of biennials themselves as systems of power and propose instead to engage with a ?series of acts of conscious freedom.? This project invites artists, thinkers and cultural producers, together with members of civil society and public authority ? from Scandinavia and across the globe ? to partake in various initiatives enquiring the meaning and production of history. This book is published in conjunction with Göteborg Art Biennale 2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
