BIENNALE OF SYDNEY ANNOUNCES CURATOR FOR 2004 EXHIBITION
Luca Belgiorno-Nettis, Chairman, Biennale of Sydney Board said, “this is the first time a curator has been appointed two years ahead of the next event and during a current Biennale. It not only provides for Isabel a longer lead time to develop her exhibition but also the opportunity to experience the Biennale here in Sydney first hand and get sense of what we can deliver”.
Isabel Carlos is a Lisbon-based freelance curator, writer and art critic. She was the founder and Deputy Director between 1996 and 2001 of the Instituto de Arte Contemporânea (IAC) for the Ministry of Culture, Portugal where she ran the international collection. No stranger to biennales, Ms Carlos also organised the Portuguese representation at the Venice Biennale (2001), the London Art Biennale (2000), Sao Paolo Biennale (1996 and 1998) and was advisor for the selection of Portuguese artists in the 1997 and 1999 Istanbul Biennials. Carlos also participated in the conference of the first Melbourne International Biennial (1999).
Ms Carlos will spend considerable time in Australia over the next two years researching and working with the local art community and Australian organisations as she realises her exhibition.
For the 2003 Venice Biennale, Isabel Carlos is on the National Pavilions Jury.
