DORSET PAVILION at VENICE BIENNALE

The 60th edition of the International Art Exhibition is all there in the title: Foreigners Everywhere – Stranieri Ovunque. Strong words, explosive when paired that evoke both current scenarios and possible universes.

Adriano Pedrosa has curated a Biennale Arte that reflects his personal approach to study and research, which is free of any prejudice in favour of the already established – where the vertigo of the unknown is an integral part of the process of exploration and enjoyment, and disorientation becomes a potent instrument for identifying new compass points.

THE DORSET PAVILION will be exhibiting from September 10th through to October 29th, Tuesday to Sundays 10am-7pm.

THE DORSET PAVILION exhibits practices unique to the place: art that is made locally but speaks trans globally. Lost Sheep Productions; Common Ground and Lower Hewood Farm orgs present work alongside Tolpuddle Martyrs Union Banners, fossil displays by designer Will White, sheep skin works, films such Comrades by Bill Douglas and Common Ground’s Arcadia (dir. Paul Wright, BFI/BBC) alongside weavers, ceramicists, painters, craft-based artists, and established Art World figures such as Andy Goldsworthy and Ellen Harvey. This is a Local Pavilion that celebrates the parish-sized thinking that is both resurgent and under threat from UK Inc.
