Location:
Venice
Project:
As part of the re-development of ICF’s Diaspora Pavilion project model – which was initially tested between 2016 and 2018 with a professional development programme for 10 emerging artists and included exhibitions in Venice and Wolverhampton – we undertook a year-long period of research. The first stage of the re-development process involved initiating conversations with a group of selected artists by inviting them to actively participate in a field trip organised by the ICF team centred around the opening of a major international Biennale.
The first trip in this series was to Venice during the opening days of the 58th Venice Biennale (10 – 14 May 2019), entitled May You Live In Interesting Times and curated by Ralph Rugoff. The impetus for selecting this Biennale as a case study is the project’s connection to Venice as the location of the 2017 Diaspora Pavilion and a prospective location for an exhibition in 2019, as well as the Diaspora Pavilion’s direct responsiveness to the limits of the notion of national pavilions in representing contemporary artistic practice.
The artists who participated in this trip were Shiraz Bayjoo, Veronica Ryan, Sonia Barrett and Evariste Maiga.
