Inland Knights (UK) 

As fresh and funky as anything the San Francisco Bay Area have released, Nottingham's Laurence Ritchie and Andy Riley have been responsible for the entire Drop Music catalogue. Incorporating elements of dub, disco, garage and even techno, their organic sounding grooves have grown from strength to strength, finding favour with DJs like Slam, Craig Richards, as well as having their material appear on respected imprints like Large, Siesta, 20:20 Vision, Low Pressings, NRK and Panhandle. And with the release
of their mixed CD Creative Spaces, the Knight's quality of music and consistency have definitely found a place amongst the elite this side of the house spectrum.

Steve Bicknell (UK) 

Resident DJ at the famous Lost nights in London, Steve Bicknell's discography dates back to '91 with releases on Perfecto, Novamute and Cosmic. Specializing in the more experimental, minimal, dancefloor aspect of techno, Steve's DJ style is indicative of the Lost parties - established primarily to develop the sound of house and techno in London. Legendary Chicago and Detroit DJs often played
their first British gig at Lost and continue to do so. And with remix work for DJ Rush, Percy X, Samuel L Sessions, and dates around Europe, Australia, Japan and US, he continues his influence on the global techno arena.

Overseas Special - Venice Biennale 2001 

The 49th International Exhibition of Contemporary art.
The prestigious Venice Biennale is a biennial modern art exposition that features painters, sculptors and performance artists from around the world. Since the festival's inception in 1895, the Biennale is one of the oldest and most important international art festivals of contemporary visual arts in the world. Envisaged as a vital access to international prestige, Singapore's first participation in the Venice Biennale is important, as it accords greater recognition to Singapore
artists and strengthens cultural relations and partnerships with other countries through cross cultural artistic dialogue and exchanges. It provides a ready platform to effectively promote and strengthen Singapore's culture and identity to the world. And being one of the first countries in the Asia-Pacific region to participate along with Australia, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, Singapore,s participation in the Biennale will undoubtedly place her on the world map as a global
arts city and a premier cultural arts city in the 21st- century.
