2019 Venice Biennale: Nomad Pavilion
Reevaluating La Biennale di Venezia as an art world equivalent of the Olympics, the monopolized art event lacks representation with only 30 permanent national pavilions and deprives opportunities for those who do not feel a sense of belonging within the concept of nationality. Rather than partaking in an already-established exhibition that may provide institutional validation within the art world, Nomad Pavilion aims to provide space for those who feel excluded from mainstream discourse. It questions conventional categories, the construct of validation, and systematic infrastructures. Nomad Pavilion is dedicated to supporting emerging artists of all race, color, religion, gender identity, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
Open Call
For its inaugural exhibition, Nomad Pavilion sent out an Open Call for artists who define themselves as “nomadic” to submit works that are “non-material,” also in their own definitions. Rather than debating who should be included and who should not, we debated how we could accommodate everyone in the best way possible. Twentynine applications were submitted and all twentynine applications were accepted.
