"Nonetheless, this Biennial is a watershed.
David A. Ross and his curators get credit for breaking the biennial mold and demonstrating that this mainstay of the contemporary art scene can be radically changed, rather than simply adjusted year to year. - Installation art, sculpture and late century Conceptualism claim the front lines here, with painting far to the rear. The presence of George Holliday's tape signals one of the show's basic flaws, which is that it is less about the art of our time than about the times themselves." writes Roberta Smith in the New York Times, March 5, 1993.
