Niche audience
On offer at going to be the biennale are a multi function range having to do with creations that damage video clip audio,either scent alongside going to be the much more"conventional" forms about paintings and statues

Not inclusive a heap of
India's art setting clinics around Delhi and Mumbai,but take heart the biennale was conceived around Kochi,hardly just because its creators hail from Kerala but attributed to explore going to be the exhibition space most of the disused buildings and warehouses offered.
