    Kochi Biennale Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015 2 \ Kochi Biennale Foundation Annual Report 2014-15 \ 3 4 \ Kochi Biennale Foundation President’s Message On behalf of the Kochi Biennale Foundation, I have the honour to pres- ent the Annual Report of the Foundation for the year 2014-2015. The Au- dited Balance Sheet of the Foundation for the year 2014-15 is an integral part of this Report. The Year under Report has been truly a Biennale year for the Founda- tion. The Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF) was proud to host the second edition of Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) under the curatorship of Jitish Kallat. The KBF’s mission is to draw from the rich tradition of public action and public engagement in Kerala, and build a new aesthetic that integrates both the past and the present. Kochi’s cosmopolitanism has been worn by generations of Keralites as a badge of honour. We invited Jitish to envisage a Biennale that responds to the environ- ment that hosts it, which led to ‘Whorled Explorations’, a non-linear and layered meditation on the world we inhabit today. In its second edition, KMB maintained its unique character by yet again choosing an artist as the curator celebrating its legacy as an artist-initiated project. Getting here has been anything but easy. For the first edition of the Biennale, Kerala Government financed it to the tune of Rs 9 Cr. For the Second Edition, similar substantial support was promised and Rs 3 Cr. has already been released.
