Zenomap

The exhibition showed works specially commissioned from the three artists in a magnificent venue comprising five majestic rooms in the 17^th century Palazzo Giustinian-Lolin, overlooking the Grand Canal near the Accademia bridge.

Alongside the main exhibition a screening and events programme ran in a more contemporary venue (a school gym), a few minutes’ walk away from the exhibition venue, in Dorsoduro in the opening week of the Biennale.

Screenings and events:

This programme of live events, performances and screenings included newly commissioned work from a wide range of artists including Dave Allen, Katy Dove, Graham Fagen, Luke Fowler, Rob Kennedy, Torsten Lauschmann, Rosalind Nashashibi, Stephen Sutcliffe, Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan.
