Look for Me All Around You: Sharjah Biennial 14: Leaving the Echo Chamber

Accompanying Look for Me All Around You, one of the three sections of Sharjah Biennial 14, this book charts a non-chronological time-space (dis-)continuum between the Americas and the Emirates, building unexpected trans-oceanic and multi-diasporic bridges for a global history. This volume provides interpretative, discursive, poetic, political, and theoretical tools to compare and contrast modes of migration, production, extraction, and exploitation through a series of 30 newly commissioned context- specific works and critical texts. Look for Me All Around You also operates as an artists book generative of readings on performance. AUTHOR: Claire Tancons is a curator and scholar invested in the discourse and practice of the postcolonial politics of production and exhibition with a particular focus on performance.
