The focus in 2006 was international while previous editions of the show stressed artists from regions outside New York, but this year\u2019s show appears likely to please the New York\/LA axis. Chockablock with artists familiar to gallery crowds in both cities, the list of 81 participating artists and collectives includes conceptual art pioneers Louise Lawler and John Baldessari, and representatives from the subsequent generations they influenced, including Fia Backstrom and Carol Bove. Amongst the other strains of contemporary art showcased by the Biennial will be a focus on cross-discipline work, including a series of performances staged March 3 \u2013 23 at the Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Ave at 67th Street.
