The 20th Biennale of Sydney, curated by Stephanie Rosenthal, focuses on how the distinction between virtual and physical worlds has become ever more elusive. The title “The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed” is inspired by a quote from science fiction author William Gibson .
The Biennale is structured in thematic clusters with each participating venue designated as an embassy for a particular collection of thought. The Museum of Contemporary Art will host the Embassy of Translation, bringing together a selection of works that contextualise historical positions, concepts and artefacts.
Works by Nina Beier, Daniel Boyd, Noa Eshkol, Helen Marten and Dayanita Singh consider history as a material that is able to be restaged and reimagined in new contexts.
