The Gate Foundation invites (artistic) directors and curators to speak on the phenomenon, as well the concept of their own Biennials. The result is a melange of reflection and information, the history of the phenomenon, and the search for the art of the future. Biennials are described as a new cultural and artistic phenomenon in the international art world. It is a fact that in the eighties and nineties several countries showed a growing interest for this specific form of art exhibition. The increase of this type of exhibitions has drawn attention to various western and non-western cultural artistic productions. It creates diversity in the art world and shows the quality standards of different cultures. The series is meant to bring different voices to the arena of the art world. About Manray Hsu Manray Hsu is an independent art critic and curator based in Taipei. He has a PhD. Candidate in Aesthetics from the Department of Philosophy at Columbia University New York and is a regular contributor to Art Asia-Pacific, Flash Art and major art magazines in China. See www.gatefoundation.nl for his exhibitions. About The 2000 Taipei Biennial The 2000 Taipei Biennial; The Sky is the limit, took place in the Taipei Fine Arts Museum from September 9. 2000 to January 7. 2001. In the press release distributed on behalf of the Taipei Biennial is written: The 2000 Taipei Biennial, The Sky is the limit is an open dialogue between the two curators Jerome Sanse (France) and Manray Hsu (Taiwan). This exhibition aims to construct a forum of collective experiences among artists and audience alike. Instead of producing a spectacular mega-exhibition, Taipei Biennial 2000 insists on its "human scale" dimensions by including approximately thirty international artists from more than twenty countries. The goal is to relocate the biennial in the place where it happens and to create a lab where actions and fantasies can be put into experimentation. The idea is to present the exhibition as a site of "living experience."
