From 1 1/2 floors of the Triennial a couple of weeks back. I guess I'd need to see the whole thing to comment informedly but the bits I did see, while frequently enjoyable, struck me as skewed towards the accessible more than the challenging.
Fernando Laposse - Conflict avocados project (2023) - including a room-spanning tapestry, 40-minute documentary film, and other artifacts, about the way avocado farming in Mexico - where half of the world's avocados are produced - has caused environmental, cultural and other destruction, and the story of Cheran, an Indigenous community that revolted and is now self-governing
Megacities - Tokyo, Delhi, Shanghai, Lagos, Sao Paulo, Cairo, Dhaka, Mexico City, Seoul, Jakarta, each photographed by one resident; projected by city and theme on multiple screens
Six fine Tracey Emin gouaches (2014)
Jeff Wall - "Untangling" (2006), which I've seen more than once before but which landed with renewed forced on this viewing (the lightbox glowed, far more brightly than above)
Malerie Marder - "Untitled" (2001) and Anne Zahalka - "Sunday, 2:09pm" (1995) - part of a tremendous quartet along one wall, along with one each from Gregory Crewdson and Alex Prager, under the theme of 'Narrative' (which also included the Jeff Wall one)
Derek Henderson - "Kohaihai Road, North Beach, West Coast. 10-30am, 9th February 2004" (2004)
