COURTESY THE ARTIST/HONOLULU BIENNIAL
The second edition of the Honolulu Biennial, titled “To Make Wrong / Right / Now,” will be held from March 8 to May 5, 2019, bringing together 19 artists and artist groups from Hawaii and 29 artists and artist groups from the Pacific, Asia. They’ll exhibit work at over a dozen locations across O’ahu, such as the Ali’iolani Hale, Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Foster Botanical Garden, and Honolulu Museum of Art, with the hub located at Ward Village. Co-curated by Scott Lawrimore and Nina Tonga, the programming is tied to a poem by participating artist Imaikalani Kalahele called “Manifesto,” which is the source of this year’s title.
Tonga said in a release, “To Make Wrong / Right / Now can be read as a critical intervention into the biennial model and prevailing modes of the global art market. It can also be understood as a call for action, encouraging revisionist and corrective gestures. By foregrounding existent enactments of relationality and genealogy, the biennial is reimagined as a platform that empowers aesthetic sovereignty and the artistic freedom to make what is right for this place and time.”
