Revolutions: Forms That Turn is the 16th incarnation of the Biennale of Sydney and is curated by artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev.
Artscape: The Art Life at The Biennale of Sydney looks at the work of some of the 186 artists represented in this year's Biennale and their individual approaches to the notion of revolution - from the literal to the ideological.
Presented by Andrew Frost, the program takes a tour of the Biennale's various venues, meets and talks to key artists, curators and organisers behind the scenes, samples fine wines at the show's rolling series of grand openings and contemplates a revolution led from the top down.
Artists' work featured in the program includes Mike Parr, Dora Garcia, Pierre Huyghe, Stuart Ringholt, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, and Sharmila Samant.
Frost interviews a number of these artists plus he talks to artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev about this year's selection of work.
Christov-Bakargiev has been Chief Curator of Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art in Turin, Italy, since 2002 and before that Senior Curator at PS1 Contemporary Art Centre in New York.
Frost is an Australian writer who contributes to a variety of publications including Australia's leading art magazines and newspapers. He also writes and presents The Art Life for Artscape.
Artscape: The Art Life at The Biennale of Sydney will be repeated on ABC2 – Sunday, July 27 at 7:00pm
