Resumo

Victoria Lynn's second Adelaide International, titled Restless, left some people feeling a little, well ... restless. The disquiet focused on venues and presentation - I heard it remarked that Restless struggled to achieve thematic 'momentum'. Some suggested this wasn't the best work from some very distinguished artists, for example a decade-old video work (Gringo, 2003) by celebrated Belgian/Mexican artist Francis Alys. Spread across four widespread venues, none of them very large, this selection of eighteen international artists had none of the advantages of the Biennale up the road at the Art Gallery of South Australia, i.e., a contiguous, dedicated space and generous production budget.
