In answer to some of your questions blakbyrd

Australian representation:

artists:
Juan Davila - born 1946 Santiago, Chile. Lives in Melbourne, Australia.

Simryn Gill - born 1959 Singapore. Lives in Sydney, Australia, and Port
Dickson, Malaysia.

Magazine project:
empyre fourm - born 2002 Sydney, facilitated from Australia and  Nth and Sth
America - represented at documenta by Christina McPhee (USA)
 
----
The Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council for the Arts assisted with
the costs of artists Simryn Gill and Juan Davila and editors/arts writers
Andrew Murphie, Yanni Florence and Leo Edelstein to attend documenta.
Murphie, Florence or Edelstein have no connection with empyre.

In terms of attendance.. Almost everyone who goes to Venice goes to
documenta.. Its the Grand Tour with Munster and Art Basel.
