Pedro Lasch: 20 22: Art Biennials and Other Global Disasters

By Pedro Lasch

Does the art system of certain territories only gain value after tragedy, and what role do fairs play in this financial cycle?

Provoked by his experience with the 2009 Ghetto Biennale in Port-au-Prince and the earthquake that devastated Haiti afterward, artist and educator Pedro Lasch (born 1975) reflects on the two faces of art fairs--as platforms for artistic legitimization and stages marked by catastrophe.
