Sound the alarm! The Biennale of Sydney has released the initial artist list for its 20th edition, which runs March 18 through June 5, 2016. It is titled “The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed,” organized by Stephanie Rosenthal, and will appear in seven major venues. (Other projects will be dispersed throughout the city.) This first list, which is likely to grow, features 73 artists, including young guns like Korakrit Arunanondchai, Nina Beier, Camille Henrot, and Michele Abeles. In keeping with current curatorial trends, it also includes deceased artists (Kazimir Malevich, Noa Eshkol) and even a deceased writer (Samuel Beckett). The list follows below, organized by the section in which the artist will appear.
