Strategie di selezioni al padiglione australiano





Molto interessante il recente articolo del sito http://dailyreview.com.au/ di informazione australiana sulle dinamiche delle selezioni presso il Padiglione Australiano, eccovi una parte del testo il resto lo trovate nel sito 

In the US last year there was widespread consternation when it was revealed that nearly one third of all museum shows there came from artists represented by just five commercial galleries.
In Australia a similarly small coterie of commercial dealers and collectors act as cultural gatekeepers for our taxpayer funded arts institutions. The commercial Sydney gallery Roslyn Oxley9 has during the past 33 years  provided a staggering 11 artists from its stable as Australia’s representatives at the Australia Council- funded Australian pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
In Daily Review last year John Kelly caused a storm when he looked at the small circle who determined the choice of artist as our representative at the 2015 Venice Biennale. Our 2017 choice is no different. While Kelly admires the selection of Tracey Moffatt, he asks in the essay below, why, given such a small group of people have influenced our choice of artists for Venice for decades, it has taken them so long to choose an indigenous artist in a solo show as Australia’s representative?

Adventure: Capital




You are warmly invited to the official launch of Ireland at Venice the Irish Tour by Chair of the Arts Council, Sheila Pratschke at Limerick City Gallery of Art on Thursday 21 January from 6–8pm.
 
Limerick City Gallery of Art, in partnership with Ireland at Venice, is pleased to present The Irish Tour of Adventure: Capital, a new artwork by artist Sean Lynch that was commissioned for Ireland at Venice 2015, the Irish Pavilion at the 56th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Visited by over 400,000 people during the world’s most prestigious visual arts exhibition, Adventure: Capital now begins its national tour of Ireland.
 
Adventure: Capital is Sean Lynch’s most ambitious project to date and traces a journey from myth to minimalism around Ireland and Britain, combining Greek river gods; public art at regional airports; quarries and the art of stone-carving; an abandoned sculpture in Cork; and a traffic roundabout, on a storytelling journey that unravels notions of value and the flow of capital through an anthropological lens.
 
Alongside Adventure: Capital at Limerick City Gallery of Art, Sean Lynch will present a selection of previous artworks, including A Church Without A Steeple (2012, Arts Council Collection), A Rocky Road (2011), Peregrine Falcons Visit Moyross (2008), Bill Clinton (2007), and Latoon (2006–2015). Subsequent presentations of Adventure: Capital in Sligo, Dublin and Belfast will also be individually configured with existing and new artworks, giving audiences multifaceted perspectives on Lynch’s practice.
 
The exhibition is accompanied by the Adventure: Capital exhibition publication, freely available with an essay by the curator Woodrow Kernohan and additional texts by Sean Lynch and Michele Horrigan.
