The Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, the oldest biennial-style show in the U.S., has revealed the artist list for its 2022 edition, which is due to kick off at the Carnegie Museum of Art on September 24.
SculptureCenter director Sohrab Mohebbi organized the show, which is titled “Is it morning for you yet?,” a reference to a Mayan Kaqchikel expression meant as an alternative to the phrase “Good morning,” according to the show’s announcement. Artist Édgar Calel, whose work will be included in the 2022 Carnegie International, spurred Mohebbi to name the show this way.
In a statement, Mohebbi said that his show will feature artists who are “reminding us that not only do our histories of pain and longing bind us, but furthermore, our narratives of resistance and survival help us reimagine the world.”
Although it does not take place in a major capital, the Carnegie International has been considered a bellwether for the art scene in the U.S. since its inception in 1896. Taking place roughly every four to five years, the show has been credited with bringing international artists some of their first major attention in the U.S.
As with the Whitney Biennial, the Berlin Biennale, Documenta, and other major recurring art exhibitions that have taken place this year, many of the artists included are not white. A significant number also hail from outside the U.S. and Europe, the regions that are often given the greatest weight at biennials.
At least three artists in this Carnegie International—Mire Lee, Monira Al Qadiri, and Tishan Hsu, whose work was recently the subject of a survey that Mohebbi organized—are also currently being shown at the Venice Biennale.
And, in a move that is becoming increasingly common at major biennials, there is a sprinkling of dead artists at this Carnegie International, with Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Kate Millett, Yolanda López, and Pacita Abad among those set to figure in the show.
The artist list for this edition of the Carnegie International, the show’s 58th, follows in full below, along with the names of the people contributing to its catalogue.
