This poster investigates the role that the Sharjah Biennial (SB), an international art showcase in the United Arab Emirates, plays in the development of a local artistic and cultural taste. It argues that the SB contributes to the molding of local aesthetic values through its selection of curatorial themes, artists, artworks, and, especially, venues. Using field visits, interviews, and archival research informed by sociological and anthropological theories on aesthetics, the author shows that organizers of public art exhibitions and programs are in a key position to shape the art to which people are exposed and how this, in turn, creates a public valuation of aesthetics. This project fills a gap in contemporary biennial literature by shedding light on the pivotal roles of art events in shaping societal aesthetic values.

沙迦双年展的艺术品味

这张海报调查了沙迦双年展 (SB)，一个在阿拉伯联合酋长国举办的国际艺术展览，在发展当地艺术和文化品味中所起的作用。它认为，SB 通过选择策展主题、艺术家、艺术品，尤其是场地，有助于塑造当地的审美价值观。作者通过实地考察、访谈和档案研究，以社会学和人类学美学理论为依据，表明公共艺术展览和项目的组织者在塑造人们所接触的艺术以及这反过来如何，创造了对美学的公共评价。该项目通过阐明艺术事件在塑造社会审美价值观中的关键作用，填补了当代双年展文学的空白。
