No dead end art for graveyard Sydney Biennale

Sydney

A HISTORIC Australian graveyard which includes the final resting place of a one-time harpist to Napoleon and prominent figures from the nation's colonial era has become the site of an art installation with an enduring message.

Swedish artist Bo Christian Larsson had never visited Sydney, let alone seen Camperdown Cemetery, when he agreed to work among its weathered graves as part of the city's 20th Biennale, Australia's largest contemporary visual arts festival.
