520 |a This article critically looks at the recent Kochi Muziris Biennale and a few important exhibits in the background of the controversies they created. In order to problematise Biennale’s ideology of cosmopolitanism, through which the organizers tried to surpass the existing institutions of art and democracy, I will dwell upon the issues of spectatorship and the discursivity of art practices. The argument I make here is that there is a shift away from the principles of dissent and radical egalitarianism in the course of contemporary Indian art. The Biennale is an exemplary case of this turn for its biased interpretation of Kerala’s cultural history and the uncriticality of most of its exhibits, in which process, the dialogical and dialectical relationship between the artist and the viewer is undermined.
