Public art project at the 58th Venice Biennale- Faculty staff exhibition

A group of Deakin University creative arts students and researchers are undertaking an extraordinary six-month international public art project at the 58^th Venice Biennale.

Working in six teams, one for each month of the Biennale, 23 researchers and PhD candidates will be asked to deliver a series of creative responses to a place-based provocation as part of the European Cultural Centre exhibition, Personal Structures.

Working across locations all over Venice, the artists will document their work in the famous Palazzo Bembo exhibition space.

The exhibition, titled Venetian Blind, is being curated by Professor David Cross and Dr Cameron Bishop, from Deakin’s School of Communication and Creative Arts, and run by the University’s research initiative, the Public Art Commission.

The work is one of Deakin’s largest international public art exhibitions and the Commission’s biggest undertaking in Europe, following large-scale ensemble public art projects in New Zealand and Tasmania.
