International Selection Panel
Whilst previous Biennales have been the vision of one artistic director, the
Biennale of Sydney 2000 has invited six of the world's leading art figures to
come together.
International Selection Panel
"I think that when you bring together a group of people with very diverse
backgrounds such as is the case with the International Selection Panel, you
can have a much more interesting conversation, and hopefully that will be
reflected in the experience of the visitor at the Biennale; that is to say
that you get a much richer show."
Sir Nicholas Serota, International Selection Panel.
