This Education Kit has been produced in consultation with a group of specialist secondary art teachers, and tertiary and museum art educators. It is an information resource designed to supplement the catalogue and education kit of the Biennale of Sydney 2000.
The kit has been targeted at general adult readers, teachers and secondary students and developed to address the specific needs and issues of the new Stage 6 Syllabus for Visual Arts being introduced into New South Wales High Schools.
This new syllabus explores the idea of art practice being situated within a complex system of exchange. With this premise in mind, the Biennale of Sydney Education Kit 2001 contains two short essays that describe aspects of the contemporary art world. Available to access via PDF, these essays were originally delivered as lectures accompanied by slides. These texts contain informal generalisations, references and colloquialisms. However, the aim of these essays- The Museum as Encoded Space and What is the Artworld?, is to give an accessible broad overview and general description of some of the operations and interconnections that occur within the international and Australian art worlds.
In response to teacher's desires this kit also contains an overview of Everyday (Biennale of Sydney 1998) and the most recent exhibition, the Biennale of Sydney 2000. Accompanying these short texts are a selection of references to Australian and International newspaper and journal reviews.
The Biennale of Sydney Education Kit 2001 also contains 4 additional commentaries on specific artists whose work has appeared in previous Biennale of Sydney exhibitions.
