Inhaltsangabe:

Published for the tenth Liverpool Biennial, Beautiful World, Where Are You? reflects on political turmoil and considers how times of uncertainty invite a more equitable sense of beauty through works by Kevin Beasley, Francis Alÿs, Shannon Ebner, Melanie Smith and others.

Von der hinteren Coverseite: This book accompanies the 10th edition of Liverpool Biennial 2018. The artistic concept and title for this year's edition, 'Beautiful world, where are you?', derives from a 1788 poem by Friedrich Schiller, later set to music by Franz Schubert in 1819. The years between the composition of Schiller's poem and Schubert's song saw great upheaval and profound change in Europe. Today the poem continues to suggest a world gripped by deep uncertainty; a world of social, political and environmental turmoil. It can be seen as a lament, but also as an invitation to reconsider our past, advancing a new sense of beauty that might be shared in a more equitable way. The book includes a selection of texts and creative responses to the Biennial's title from artists, curators, writers, thinkers, scientists and sociologists. As well as being published in the event of the Biennial, it also functions as a standalone publication giving a snapshot of a particular moment in time.
