Padiglione Gran Bretagna. Mike Nelson

04.06.2011 - 27.11.2011

LIV. Esposizione Internationale d'Arte, La Biennale di Venezia, Venezia / Italia

For the British Pavilion in 2011, Nelson has elected to take as his starting point another of his own key works from the past decade, Magazin: Büyük Valide Han, originally built for the 8th International Istanbul Biennial in 2003. By relocating and re-working this earlier installation for Venice, Nelson has both created a link between the two former great mercantile centres of the east-west/west-east axes, and drawn upon his own histories with the cities and their respective biennials.
