Melbourne International Biennial 1999
The Melbourne International Biennial 1999 was a cultural initiative of the City of Melbourne in partnership with Arts Victoria, the Victoria Department of Premier and Cabinet, the Ian Potter Museum of Art, and The University of Melbourne. Originally called "Melbourne Arts International", the event later changed name once the University of Melbourne was able to confirm the involvement of Frances Lindsay and Juliana Enberg, which resulted in a successful fund-raising campaign that increased the initial budget of $1 million.https://content.acca.melbourne/legacy/files/1999_5%20July_The%20Age%2C%20Engberg%20set%20for%202001%20Biennale.pdf The first edition, curated by Engberg and organized by Bala Starr was titled "Signs of Life", and ran from 14 May through 27 June 1999.

Meta Isaeus-Berlin
Meta (from the Greek μετά, ''meta'', meaning "after" or "beyond") is a prefix meaning "more comprehensive" or "transcending". In modern nomenclature, ''meta''- can also serve as a prefix meaning self-referential, as a field of study or endeavor ( metatheory: theory about a theory, metamathematics: mathematical theories about mathematics, meta-axiomatics or meta-axiomaticity: axioms about axiomatic systems, metahumor: joking about the ways humor is expressed, etc.). Original Greek meaning In Greek, the prefix ''meta-'' is generally less esoteric than in English; Greek ''meta-'' is equivalent to the Latin words ''post-'' or ''ad-''. The use of the prefix in this sense occurs occasionally in scientific English terms derived from Greek. For example: the term '' Metatheria'' (the name for the clade of marsupial mammals) uses the prefix ''meta-'' in the sense that the '' Metatheria'' occur on the tree of life adjacent to the '' Theria'' (the placental mammals).
