The 20th Biennale of Sydney

'If each era posits its own view of reality, what is ours? One of the key ideas this Biennale explores is how the common distinction between the virtual and the physical has become ever more elusive. The embassies are inspired by the unique locations and individual histories of the venues; they will provide safe spaces for thinking that convene for the three-month duration of the Biennale. A focus on 'in-between spaces' is key: in terms of our interaction with the digital world, the blurred boundaries between art forms and the interconnection between politics and financial power structures.' —Stephanie Rosenthal, artistic director
