Revolutions – Forms That Turn (18 June – 7 September 2008), was curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and presented at seven venues in and around Sydney Harbour. The eighth – online – venue was the first time any Biennale in the world used the internet as a major venue to host artists’ projects. 2008 marked the first year that the Biennale was presented at World Heritage-listed Cockatoo Island
Revolutions – Forms That Turn articulated the agency embedded in forms that express our desire for change, the impulse to revolt and to radically alter perspectives. The exhibition was a constellation of historical and contemporary works of art that celebrated and explored these dynamics, both in art and life, through installations, performances, films, texts, an evolving online venue, conversations and events.
