The Biennale of Sydney continues to play a central role in developing visual arts culture in Australia and connecting artists from around the world.

Every two years, the Biennale of Sydney is presented free to the public over a twelve-week period. As Australia’s largest and most exciting contemporary visual arts event – with 517,421 visits in 2010 – the 18th Biennale of Sydney will celebrate the organisation’s 39th anniversary.

The Biennale of Sydney is the third longest running biennale in the world after Venice and São Paulo, and was the first biennale to be established in the Asia Pacific region. Since its inception in 1973, the Biennale of Sydney has provided an international platform for innovative and challenging contemporary art, showcasing more than 1500 artists from over 83 countries.

The 18th Biennale of Sydney: all our relations will be presented from 27 June – 16 September 2012 with Artistic Directors, Catherine de Zegher and Gerald McMaster.
