Asking Again, at the 11th Shanghai Biennale
By Ysabelle Cheung
At the 11th Shanghai Biennale, curators Raqs Media Collective made a radical proposal. The 92 participating artists from 40 countries were asked to architect imagined futures, encounters and narratives from within Asia—and with those resulting works, the Raqs Media Collective (Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula and Shuddhabrata Sengupta) restructured the various levels and sections of the Power Station of Art (PSA) in Shanghai into connected archipelagos of intersecting desires.
