Biennale of Sydney: The Boundary Rider

andrew — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 06:24:58 +0000

Group Exhibition

15 December 1992 – 14 March 1993

Artistic director Tony Bond's vision for the 9th Biennale of Sydney was to reflect a shift from the art making centres of Europe and the USA to countries whose artists had not been represented in previous Biennales. "Work of controversial artists such as Orlan, examined transgressions of conceptual and cultural boundaries. An extensive program of film, lectures and symposia explored the issues raised in this exhibition." [BOS Website].

Biennale of Sydney: [The World May Be] Fantastic

andrew — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 06:43:32 +0000

Group Exhibition

15 May 2002 – 14 July 2002

"The exhibition focused on artists who use fictions, fakes, invented methodologies and experiments as a basis for their work. The projects celebrated the potential of the creative act to generate alternative worlds, suggesting that our everyday belief systems may be constructed, hallucinatory and changeable." [BOS Website]. Curated by Richard Grayson with advisory panel Susan Hiller, Ralph Rugoff and Janos Sugar.

Cabinet of Madame Tussaud

Film

"Madame Tussaud learnt her skills of wax modelling during the French Revolution. The Terror provided her with models more often dead than alive. The story of Madame Tussaud is woven around the great portrait machine of the revolution - the guillotine. Descriptions of its awesome efficiency and her gruesome task float over images of pastoral serenity."1
