The title for this biennale takes the form of a call and a question. This biennale sends out a call, and it asks a question: \u2018Why Not Ask Again?\u2019 The phrase is both a demand and a query. It demands that we ask questions, repeatedly if necessary, but it also implies a simple query – and the query is – what happens when we ask a question,\u00a0again? What happens when we try asking something differently from the last time, or find a different approach or angle with which to look at a question? In other words, it tells us to look beyond answers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
