Abstract

As one of the earliest ‘exhibitions’, the first Paris Salon was held in the Palais-Royal in 1667, and by 1699, the growth of such public events prompted a move to the Grand Galerie of the Louvre. Salons thus became the public space for art in the modern sense. Soon after, in the eighteenth century, art exhibitions proliferated throughout Europe and in Britain, most notably, there has been the annual summer show of London’s Royal Academy which was first unveiled in 1769. Since the second half of the nineteenth century, European cities and states began to sponsor large international art exhibitions to build up and secure their identities as cultural centres, including the Venice Biennale, founded in 1895, as the world’s oldest biennial and one of the most enduring examples (Altshuler 2008). Since the second half of the twentieth century, particularly in the last three decades, we have seen more and more biennials and triennials established as international art events, and importantly, as vital instruments of economic and cultural development worldwide.
