The Honolulu Biennial Foundation announced Wednesday that the Howard Hughes Corp. will once again be a title sponsor for its contemporary arts festival in 2019. Howard Hughes is joined by the Taiji and Naoko Terasaki Family Foundation as a title sponsor of the festival, to be held for the second time next year. Next year’s biennial, titled “To Make Wrong / Right / Now,” is scheduled for March 8 to May 5 on Oahu and the Big Island. It follows the inaugural Honolulu Biennial, titled “Middle of Now | Here,” which was held last spring, featuring more than 30 artists from Hawaii, the Pacific and Asia at nine venues across Oahu. Next year’s biennial, curated by Nina Tonga from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Te Papa and Scott Lawrimore, exhibit designer at Bishop Museum, with local arts consultant Josh Tengan as assistant curator, will feature more than 40 artists and artist collectives from Hawaii and the Pacific.
