Camperdown Cemetery / Redfern Community Centre / Redfern Wall / 130 Abercrombie Street / 86 George Street / Royal Botanic Garden Sydney / MCA Forecourt A focus on in-between spaces
is key on both the conceptual and physical levels in the 20th Biennale. Many artists attempt to access the ‘in-between’ – the place where the virtual and the physical fold into one another. Perhaps one could call this indistinct area ‘the space between utopia and heterotopia’ – that space which Michel Foucault sees represented in the mirror*.
Many of their works examine our interactions with the digital world, our displacement from and occupation of spaces and land, and the interconnections between politics and economic power structures. Other projects investigate spaces within the city that represent thresholds, or folds, and others reflect on the idea of ownership; they take over a piece of land for a limited time, occupy it, take care of it and then disappear.
