Preview Days: 6, 7 and 8 May 2015
Press View: 10-1pm Tuesday 5 May 2015, at Marciana Library |
| Berlin-based artist Simon Denny (b.1982, Auckland) will represent New Zealand at the 56th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, with a pavilion divided between two highly symbolic sites: Marco Polo Airport and the historic Marciana Library in Piazza San Marco, with paintings by Titian and Tintoretto. |
| The two venues are closely related to Denny’s project, entitled Secret Power, which will address the intersection of knowledge and geography in our "post-Snowden world". It will investigate new and obsolete languages for describing geo-political space, focusing on the roles played by technology and innovation. |
| In 2013 and 2014, Denny presented All You Need Is Data: The DLD 2012 Conference Redux at the Kunstverein Munich, and exhibited The Personal Effects of Kim Dotcom at MUMOK in Vienna. From 3 April to 31 August 2015, MoMA PS1 in New York will present The Innovator's Dilemma, the first significant US museum solo show of Simon Denny. |
