About The Dallas Biennial:
The Dallas Biennial (DB) is an artist run biennial and non-profit. “We look to the now ubiquitous format as a means to advocate art production and investigate formats of exhibition and curation. Each biennial will be labeled DB, followed by the year of its launch. This year is DB14."

Directed by Dallas-based artists Michael Mazurek and Jesse Morgan Barnett, The Dallas Biennial commenced in 2012 with a two-year long internet based event entitled, DB12: Volume 1 – 4.

About the Curators:
Michael Mazurek and Jesse Morgan Barnett live and work in Dallas. They both received their MFA’s in Intermedia from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2011.
