Art Almanac attended the media preview of the 18th Biennale of Sydney (18BoS) with much excitement on Tuesday 26 June. The cohort of media representatives were taken to each of the four main venues of the 18BoS; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Cockatoo Island, Pier 2/3, and The Art Gallery of NSW.
Editorial Assistant and Writer, Anna Madeleine, took photos of some of the day’s highlights – just a few of the many phenomenal works that make the 18BoS one of the most accessible, dynamic and ambitious shows to date.
Art Almanac, in conjunction with Artist Profile, are Contributing Partners to the 18BoS. Our August edition will feature a run-down-review of each location.
