Summary:
This book explores how artists and curators evoke the past as a part of the present within the framework of contemporary art biennials. Can the nonlinear and poly vocal form of the art biennial—distinctly different from that of historical museums and academia—provide an experimental testing ground for publicly processing the past and reimagining the future?

Summary:
This book explores how artists and curators evoke the past as a part of the present within the framework of contemporary art biennials. Can the nonlinear and poly vocal form of the art biennial—distinctly different from that of historical museums and academia—provide an experimental testing ground for publicly processing the past and reimagining the future? Conceived as a resource for the fields of art and exhibition studies, as well as for readers interested in history and social change, the book includes reflections on artistic and curatorial strategies, from Lagos to Prishtina and from Venice to Gwangju. The 2019 and 2021 editions of the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art are featured as case-studies opening up for a wider discussion about the relationship between art and the production of historical consciousness.

Summary:
Sellafield, Europe's largest nuclear site, began being decommissioned in 2022. Its primary purpose was to produce weapons-grade plutonium for the UK's nuclear weapons programme, but they also generated electrical power for the National Grid from 1956-2003 and reprocessed nuclear fuel from 1952 to 2022. In 1985, Barry Lewis photographed part of the plant for The Sunday Times Magazine after reports found an increased incidence of leukaemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children and young adults under 25 years of age living in Seascale, a village near Sellafield on the west coast of Cumbria. A government report suggested that these spikes were unlikely to have been caused by radiation exposure though the causes of these clusters of leukaemia around Sellafield was still not clear. 100Kg of plutonium had been pumped out of Sellafield into the Irish sea during the previous 40 years and 60Kg was unaccounted for. Any plutonium dust that is washed inshore, and when the tide goes out, could dry and blow inland. A single speck of plutonium inhaled is enough to trigger cancer. Sellafield is now a sprawling rubbish dump on the Cumbrian coast, with the world's largest store of plutonium that stores and treats decades of nuclear waste from atomic power generation and weapons programmes.The buildings are expected to be finally torn down by 2125 at a cost of approaching £100 billion and have its nuclear waste buried deep underground at a location still undecided.
