Colombian curator José Roca has deliberately based himself in Sydney since December last year, taking a very different philosophical position in his approach to the role of Artistic Director for 23rd Biennale of Sydney.
But his carbon conscious choice doesn’t stop there in rethinking the biennale model. He is also giving up authorship, in part handing over the major exhibition to a Curatorium as co-collaborators.
