Ban the Biennale? 

 

Ban the Biennale? is a one man 'public protest' intended to generate discussion around the value of art. It features a tent, a ‘protester’ and placards posing cheeky questions: Is this art? How can art change the world? Where is the plinth? Does art suck? Visitors to the Lorne Sculpture Biennale were invited to create placards for display in a discursive installation around the tent. The lone ‘protester’, roaming the foreshore on a tricycle, broadcast questions over a megaphone and drew the public into lively and off-the-cuff debate about the art on display and art in general.
