Most commonly: art made by living artists, or work from roughly the 1970s onward — distinguishing it from modern art, which usually refers to the late 1800s through the mid-20th century. The boundary is fuzzy by design; the coverage here focuses on art being made and shown now.
Watch degree shows, artist-run spaces, and group exhibitions at smaller galleries — that's where careers start. The emerging-artist profiles here do that legwork, explaining not just who, but what makes the work distinctive.
Yes — biennials are built for the public, not the trade. Go with a plan: pick a few pavilions or sections, read the curatorial statement, and let the dispatches here point you at the standouts before you commit a day to walking it all.
