  "account": "Fall heralds new beginnings, evident in the opening of multiple art biennials and triennials across the globe. At the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the inaugural Walker Design Triennial seeks to redefine design beyond materialism and profit-driven intentions. Featuring 95 works from artists and collectives worldwide, the exhibition emphasizes the potential for design to tackle social issues.\n\nIn Mérida, Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, the inaugural Yucatán Biennial spotlights 75 artists who experiment with language and idiom. Located in Mérida, a city rich in Mayan heritage, the biennial features works by international and local creators alike, exploring how language traverses diverse territories, processes, and disciplines.\n\nMeanwhile, the Museum of the City of New York’s photography triennial, now in its second edition, captures the city’s nocturnal vitality. Featuring photographers such as Elle Pérez, Tommy Kha, and Kia LaBeija, the exhibition explores New York City’s cultural scene after dark, from nightlife to midnight snacks.\n\nIn Gwangju, South Korea, the 16th Gwangju Biennale contemplates change through contemporary works, aligning with the poem \"Archaic Torso of Apollo\" by Rainer Maria Rilke. Deconstructed club rooms, webpage collages, and other installations reflect art's role in transformation, aesthetic experience, and self-transcendence.\n\nToronto Biennial of Art’s fourth edition focuses on rupture and its consequences, exploring themes of migration, diaspora, waterways, borders, genocide, ecological justice, and speculative science fiction. Featuring artists like Rebecca Belmore, Dawoud Bey, Kent Monkman, and Skawennati, the biennial examines disruption as a catalyst for history transcription and future analysis.",
