Call for Papers An interest in research and in broadening the scope of existing biennial knowledge has been central to the conception of the Bergen Biennial Conference. Thus sprung the idea for The Biennial Reader, a significant part of which we wanted to be an anthology of seminal existing texts theorizing the biennial and large-scale perennial exhibition. Aiming to be a vital resource for scholars, curators, artists, and institutions, The Biennial Reader collects and pays homage to some of the best and most serious essays written on the subject, those that have shaped scholarship and curating and have opened the possibility for continued debate today represented by a series of newly commissioned contributions that will make up the second half of the publication. As a starting point for compiling the anthology, and as a way to recognize scholarship from different parts of the world that we might not have been aware of, we began our project by issuing a “call for biennial knowledge” to which over 150 scholars from around the world sent in already published or existing texts. The call surpassed our expectations and although we are not able to publish most of the texts received in The Biennial Reader, we want to gratefully acknowledge all those that answered our call as well as to point to the quality and diversity of the scholarship being produced worldwide on biennials. The reader will be published after the conference and distributed internationally in the course of 2010. Below you will find a pdf-list with the texts sent in.  List of received texts
