24th Biennale of Sydney, 2024

Ten Thousand Suns

Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is excited to showcase Robert Campbell Jnr, Destiny Deacon, Kirtika Kain, Tracey Moffatt and Kaylene Whiskey in the 24th Biennale of Sydney: Ten Thousand Suns.

Exhibition Dates: 9 March – 10 June 2024

We are thrilled to showcase the participation of Robert Campbell Jnr, Destiny Deacon, Kirtika Kain, Tracey Moffatt and Kaylene Whiskey in the 24th Biennale of Sydney: Ten Thousand Suns.

Curated by Artistic Directors Cosmin Costinaș and Inti Guerrero, the 24th Biennale of Sydney  works across time  periods,  beyond the borders separating cultural practices rooted in different genealogies, and from all continents. The edition owes a profound debt to the rich heritage of what is known today as Australia, especially to  the struggles and practices in which First  Nations communities and migrants  have played key roles.

The selected artists’ practices are firmly rooted in diverse communities and artistic vocabularies, inviting audiences to bear witness to multiple histories. The exhibition carries hope to  resist the mainstream mindsets of perpetual crisis that often leads to inaction.

As part of the program, works by Robert Campbell Jnr, Kirtika Kain and Tracey Moffatt will be on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Australia (MCA). Destiny Deacon and Kaylene Whiskey will be exhibiting at the White Bay Power Station.
