The show, Biennial 2000 opens on Thursday, April 6 and runs through June 4. The exhibition is a celebration of the region's creative diversity in the year 2000. As such, there is no one theme or style that dominates the show. But one thread of artistic expression shows artists seeking to reveal aspects of our culture, with insight and frequently with humor. Other prevalent threads deal with the themes of gender roles, our relation to nature, and the re-enactment or updating of past events.
Abstract art continues, alive and well, with new approaches and inventiveness.
The exhibition is comprised mostly of new work. Many new installations are presented which have been created especially for the exhibition. The Museum's first work of art created and displayed on-line will be premiered. Video installations show provocative and original uses of the medium. Performance art will be presented at special Saturday events throughout the Biennial.
