Next month marks the second anniversary of the opening of the 2nd Johannesburg Biennale. The event was so well regarded internationally, director Okwui Enwezor was appointed director of the world's most important exhibition of contemporary art, the 11th Documenta, to take place in 2002. But will there ever be another Johannesburg Biennale? Should there be? Was the last Biennale a stunning assemblage of contemporary art, a feast of ideas and an inspiration for locals and foreign visitors alike, or a waste of money better spent on basics like housing? October ArtThrob will feature views on the subject by a number of experts - and readers. So please let us know what you think.
