'In response to each Biennale of Sydney since 1998, Artspace has commissioned a range of critics, curators and theorists to interrogate and engage with the curatorial framework informing the exhibition, as well as with the practices of the contributing artists, thinkers and performers. On each occasion, writers have been given a week to submit a substantial, fluidly discursive paper quickly brought together and published in a reader format then inserted back into the public sphere to act as a generator of and focal point for sustained critical discussion of the Biennale in its local, regional and global contexts.' - from the Artspace website

Column 2 is a special issue of the bi-annual periodical published by Artspace devoted to such engagement with the 2008 Biennale of Sydney, accompanying quick response texts with sustained contextual analysis and an interview with the biennale's Artistic Director, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. Also includes documentation and discussion of Artspace's artistic program from November 2007 to June 2008.
