[Michael] KIMMELMAN: The 1993 Biennial was much more explicit in its choice of artists who themselves were explicit about their politics.
[Chrissie] ILES: Artists were working more directly then with identity politics and sexual politics and politics in general.
[Debra] SINGER: And that seemed new at that moment. What is new at this moment are these more covert strategies. We're being fed simplified and didactic narratives left and right from this excessive media world. And I think artists are responding by trying to do the exact opposite, to be more expansive and ambiguous and fluid.
