The third edition of Kochi-Muziris Biennale, to be held from December 12 this year to March 29, 2017, will feature internationally-reputed writers, musicians and theatre personalities along with a host of visual artistes from across India and the world.
Iconic Chilean poet Raul Zurita, who was announced as the first artist at KMB'16 on December 15, 2015, would be among them, they said.
"The upcoming Biennale will host works by artists working across a range of media - in keeping with its mandate to broaden and blur the labels and lines attributed to art," said KMB'16 curator Sudarshan Shetty.
Shetty was unanimously chosen as curator by an Artistic Advisory Committee appointed by the Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF), which organises the Biennale.
KMB'16 will be Shetty's first curatorial project.
Claimed to be the largest event of its kind in South Asia, KMB'16 will run for 108 days from December 12, 2016, to March 29, 2017, and will comprise the main art exhibition and an ancillary programme of talks, seminars, workshops, film screenings, and music sessions across a range of venues in Fort Kochi and Ernakulam.
