ArtsBeat: Ex-Director of Miami Art Museum to Curate Biennale in China:

“Terence Riley will be the first non-Chinese curator of the exhibition.

Terence Riley, the former director of the Miami Art Museum, has been appointed chief curator for the 2011 edition of the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Biennale of UrbanismArchitecture. The appointment makes Mr. Riley the first non-Chinese curator for the event, which started in 2005.

‘Our idea is to create a paradigm that considers the cyclical growth pattern of urban sites such as Shenzhen, where cities create architecture, architecture creates cities, and how this process continues without end,’ Mr. Riley said in a statement.

Before leading the Miami Museum Mr. Riley was the chief curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He is a founding partner of the architecture firm K/R.”
