Over 760 artists from around the world came together for 10 days to meet, exhibit and and discuss contemporary art. In one of many lectures given for those attending, Christo and Jeanne Claude gave a spirited defence of art for art's sake, or art which "serves absolutely no purpose".

Biennale Artistic Director, Dr. John Spike, in a critique of the artist's paintings on exhibit, analyzed the composition, use of colour and 'cool blue tonality' in Beijing Blue, concluding it was a 'a perfect picture' in that it captured the feeling of isolation in all its elements. He noted that the colour and composition of Shanghai Alley similarly conveyed the contrasting feeling of joy within community.

In September 2005 recent work was exhibited at Hartman Studio Gallery as part of Toronto's Artsweek.

Also in September 2005 NoLady was auctioned at Carrie's Dream Fund Gala Dinner and Auction to raise funds for a project in memory of Carrie Dimitry at Toronto Sick Kids Hospital.
