The 24th Biennale of Sydney, titled Ten Thousand Suns, closed on Monday 10 June, following a record-breaking three-month run that attracted over 771,000 visitors. White Bay Power Station, one of seven sites for the edition, was revitalised and opened to the public for the first time in over 100 years, welcoming 172,000 visitors alone, making it the most attended non-museum site in the history of the Biennale.
After 50 years of presenting the most dynamic contemporary art in Sydney’s unique cultural hot spots, the Biennale continues to innovate, inspire, and captivate audiences, both locally and internationally.
Ten Thousand Suns featured 400 artworks by 96 exhibiting artists and collectives. The exhibition, with free admission, was presented with an eclectic program of events with 140 musicians, performers, and creatives across live music, performance art, workshops, talks, feasts, guided tours, theatre, education programs and family days. The events program booked out, with over 20,000 tickets booked.
