Titled Modern Monsters / Death and the Life of Fiction and drawing on a recent study The Monster that is History by Taiwanese literature historian David Der Wei Wang, the 20102 Taipei Biennial engages with the aesthetics of monstrosity.
Curated by Berlin-based independent curator and freelance writer Anslem Franke and featuring 40 projects, many conceived specifically for the exhibition, the biennial runs from 29 September 2012 to 13 January 2013.
Franke has worked as a curator for KW Institute for Contemporary Art and director of Extra City Kunsthal Antwerp, and co-curated Manifesta 7 and the 1st Brussels Biennial.
