Australian artists at Venice Biennale [01.06.2009]
MAAP Media Bank supports Australian artists Shaun Gladwell and Vernon Ah Kee with equipment at this year's Venice Biennale.
Brisbane based artist Ah Kee will be presenting a new 3 channel video work as part of Once Removed, curated by Felicity Fenner, and alongside artists Ken Yonetani, Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro. Gladwell's work MADDESTMAXIMVS: Planet & Stars Sequence will be exhibited at the Australian Pavilion.
This is the first partnership between the Australia Council and MAAP Media Bank on an international event. We look forward to continuing this relationship in the future.
