21st Biennale of Sydney

SUPERPOSITION: Equilibrium & Engagement

The 21st Biennale of Sydney presents the work of 70 international artists at seven of the city’s most respected galleries and exhibition spaces: Art Gallery of NSW, Artspace, Carriageworks, Cockatoo Island, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney Opera House and 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.The Biennale also returns to the Sydney Opera House, marking 45 years since both Australian cultural institutions were inaugurated in 1973.

The exhibition will examine the state of ‘superposition’, a quantum mechanical term that refers to the ability of electrons to occupy multiple states at once, by examining how it might operate in the world today. We are surrounded by conflicting ideas across all levels of humanity: different cultures; readings of nature and the universe; political ideologies and systems of government; interpretations of human history, the history of art and definitions of contemporary art. More than a quarter of exhibiting artists will be Australian. Find out more about the 21st Biennale of Sydney from their website.
