Fri 05 May 2009Artists to bring carpet and buskers to biennale
TWO ARTISTS will represent the Republic at the world’s most prestigious showcase for contemporary art, the Venice Biennale 2009, which opens on June 6th.
They are Sarah Browne and Gareth Kennedy but, intriguingly, they will be accompanied by a third, composite artist, Kennedy Browne. Apart from working individually, Browne and Kennedy also produce collaborative projects, and all three variations of their practice will be on show in Venice. They were selected by the Irish commissioner, Caoimhin Corrigan. He surprised many observers by opting for relatively young and little-known artists.
