About Biennale of Sydney: Rememory

The Biennale of Sydney stands as a premier international art exhibition, showcasing the vibrant and diverse contemporary art scene of Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Hosted by the Biennale of Sydney organisation, the event takes place every two years, drawing artists, curators, and art enthusiasts worldwide to the iconic city of Sydney.

Since its inception in 1973, Biennale of Sydney has been celebrated for its dynamic curation and exploration of innovative artistic practices. Featuring a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, installation, performance, and digital art, the Biennale offers a comprehensive survey of contemporary artistic trends.

Each edition of the Biennale adopts a thematic focus, inviting artists to respond and engage with pressing social, political, and environmental issues. This thematic approach fosters dialogue and reflection, contributing to the Biennale’s reputation as a platform for critical discourse and cultural exchange.

In addition to the main exhibition, Biennale of Sydney hosts a series of satellite events, including artist talks, performances, and educational programmes, further enriching the visitor experience and engaging with the local community.

As a result, Biennale of Sydney has become a cornerstone of Australia’s cultural landscape, attracting international attention and acclaim while nurturing the country’s vibrant artistic community.
