The second Johannesburg Biennale, organised by Okwui Enwezor in 1997, was a pivotal moment in the presentation of contemporary art in South Africa. The response on the ground was marked (and marred) by tension between the local and the international and, in essential ways, the immensity of the achievement of the biennale team went unacknowledged. Combined with a fraught relationship to its principal funder, the City of Johannesburg, these tensions illustrated an event that was, or so it appeared, out of sync with its context.
