INTRODUCTION

The 5th International Biennial in Sharjah, April 17-27, 2001

Dorte Dahlin, who served as the official commissioner for the Danish delegation at the Biennial in Sharjah, brought a trio of Danish artists - Øivind Nygård, Stig Brøgger and Annemette Larsen – together with the artists’ group, Superflex. At EXPO in Sharjah, this composite group of visual artists built up an interactive Internet-based TV-studio, as "a democratic platform", which was named Moon Channel (see www.superchannel.org.). The different programs could – via the Internet – be accessed in all countries. They presented a large number of the artists from east and west that were exhibiting at the biennial and a series of different features from the cultural and societal life in Sharjah, as well as interviews with students from the universities.
