EXIT BIENNIAL II: TRAFFIC

October 1 - December 23, 2005

Traffic was the second of five biennials planned over ten years. All of the biennials will focus on issues relevant to life in the metropolis and extend Exit Art’s commitment to showcasing the work of young and emerging artists.

In response to Webster dictionary’s five definitions for “traffic”, the artworks in this exhibition explored how traffic is defining our constantly changing world; the sprawl of urban centers, borders being redefined, global import and export of goods, people moving from one place to another, the trafficking of drugs, people and children, the flow of information over the internet etc. Everything is in flux and traffic is the system in which it all moves.
