Record-breaking Biennale of Sydney

More than 517,000 are reported to have visited the 17th Biennale of Sydney, which closed last weekend. The record figures were fueled by visits to Cockatoo Island – more than 157,000 visited the former convict prison and shipyard where 120 artworks by 56 artists were presented. Based on the curatorial theme THE BEAUTY OF DISTANCE: Songs of Survival in a Precarious Age, artistic director David Elliot selected 444 works by 167 artists and collaborators from 36 countries, making it the largest exhibition staged in the organisation's 37-year history.
