AUTHENTIC ARTIST+ARTWORK+AUDIENCE!

What would you ask the artists?
Get involved

Imagine you have 60 seconds with one of the artists participating in the 17th Biennale of Sydney. You can ask one question −what would it be?

We’re giving you the chance to pose a question to Biennale artists including Marcus Coates, John Bock and Dana Claxton. If your question is chosen, it will be recorded in an exclusive vodcast available for download on our website next May.

Watch the 60 second artist interviews from 2008 for inspiration.

Enter your question to marketing@biennaleofsydney.com.au with the subject line ‘I’ve got a question’
