21, The 58th Venice Biennale.

This is a special episode that I recorded with three artist friends: Kate Davis, Ash Perry and Ramo Zeroual in Venice in June this year. Unplanned, we found each other in Venice for 2019 Venice Biennale at the same time. This gave me a great opportunity to make an episode about 2019 Venice Biennale and to share some our thoughts on this major global art event. Please forgive the noises on the background, (church bell hitting the right time, ladies on street chatting, dog barking..:)) But I hope what we discussed is interesting enough to overcome these flaws.   The speakers: Kate Davis https://www.datekavis.com/about Ash Perry https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/the-art-show/first-commissions-emerging-artists-reimagine-michelangelos-david/11339758 Ramo Zeroual https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-RyLTZtXrPmwApgCDD0PUQ The 58th Venice Biennale https://www.labiennale.org/en/art/2019/information The artists mentioned in the episode: Zhanna Kadyrova https://www.kadyrova.com/project-en Lawrence Abu Hamdan Walled Unwalled (2018) - the work shown at Giardini http://lawrenceabuhamdan.com/#/walled-unwalled/ This Whole time there were no land mines (2017) - the work shown at Arsenale http://lawrenceabuhamdan.com/#/langugae-gulf-in-the-shouting-valley/ Kahlil Joseph BLKNWS https://news.artnet.com/exhibitions/blknws-kahlil-joseph-vience-biennale-2019-1543222 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=602987583540716 Lithuania Pavilion Sun and Sea, Curator: Lucia Pietroiusti https://www.labiennale.org/en/art/2019/national-participations/lithuania https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/262366/rugil-barzdiukait-vaiva-grainyt-lina-lapelytsun-sea-marina/ https://www.sunandsea.lt/en Zimbabwe Pavilion Soko Risina Musoro (The Tale Without a Head), Curator: Raphael Chikukwa https://www.labiennale.org/en/art/2019/national-participations/zimbabwe-republic https://www.contemporaryand.com/magazines/zimbabwe-pavilion-announced-participating-artists-and-title/ Kudzanai-Violet Hwami https://kudzanaiviolethwami.com North Macedonia Pavilion Subversion to Red https://www.labiennale.org/en/art/2019/national-participations/north-macedonia-republic https://nadaprlja.com/subversion-to-red/ Artist: Nada Prlja https://nadaprlja.com France Pavilion Deep See Blue Surrounding You / Vois Ce Bleu Profond Te Fondre  http://www.biennialfoundation.org/2019/04/french-pavilion-at-the-venice-biennale-2019-laure-prouvost/ Artist: Laure Prouvost https://www.laureprouvost.com Other exhibitions at the Venice Biennale: By Ash Punta della dogana https://www.palazzograssi.it/en/about/sites/punta-della-dogana/ Time, Forward! at VAC http://www.v-a-c.ru/exhibition/ Ghana Pavilion https://www.labiennale.org/en/art/2019/national-participations/ghana By Kate Future Generation Art Prize https://futuregenerationartprize.org Jannis Kounellis Prada Foundation http://www.fondazioneprada.org/project/jannis-kounellis/ By Ramo Jone Jonas http://myartguides.com/exhibitions/joan-jonas-moving-off-the-land-ii/ Museum  By Me (Siying) Parasol unit: https://parasol-unit.org Bosnia Pavilion https://www.labiennale.org/en/art/2019/national-participations/bosnia-and-herzegovina The exhibition Ramo will be in: https://www.festival-automne.com/en/program Ash’s Florence exhibition can be found at https://www.limelightmagazine.com.au/news/emerging-australian-artists-reimagine-michelangelos-david/ Ararat Gallery TAMA Fantasies - Hannah Gartside http://www.araratgallerytama.com.au/event/hannah-gartside-fantasies/
