“One of Australia’s most significant artists, Fiona Hall’s practice spans more than three decades. Hall was commissioned to be the first artist to represent Australia in the 56th Venice Biennale. Hall’s exhibition ‘Wrong Way Time’, curated by Linda Michael, was presented in the new Australian Pavilion building. The exhibition investigates global politics, world finances, and the environment. Other areas of interest for Hall include post-colonial issues, the relationship between culture and nature, and the human condition.”
In what will be a milestone year for Australia in Venice, Wrong Way Time will be the first exhibition to be held in Australia’s new pavilion, designed by Denton Corker Marshall, and managed by Australia Council for the Arts. This will be the first twenty-first century building within the Biennale’s historic Giardini precinct. – Australian Council for the Arts
