1994 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Adelaide installations
The country’s longest-standing survey of contemporary Australian art.
The 1994 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art is an exhibition of ambitious, site-specific installation and sculptural works dispersed throughout the city of Adelaide, reflecting the focus of the 1994 Adelaide Festival theme – Adelaide Installations.
With an expanded vision of Australia as part of the Asia-Pacific region, Adelaide Installations draws artists from as a far as the Western Pacific and East Asia, exploring issues relating to geographical boundaries, racial and ethnic divisions, political structures, the legacies of colonialism and post-colonialism, and social and cultural differences.
