Laguna (2011)
I'm pleased to be included in "A Sense of Place," an upcoming exhibition in Chicago that is organized in conjunction with the 2011 Venice Biennale. I'll be presenting "Laguna," a new 6-channel sound installation.

"A Sense of Place"
an exhibition in conjunction with VENICE BIENNALE 2011 - ITALIAN PAVILION IN THE WORLD

The artists included in the exhibition are Carl Baratta, Antonia Contro, Stefano Cossu, Marco G. Ferrari, Virginio Ferrari, Sung Jang, and Lou Mallozzi. The exhibition is curated by Kate Zeller.

Opening reception: Friday, June 3rd at 6pm
Istituto Italiano di Cultura
500 N Michigan Ave, Suite 1450
The opening is free and open to the public. Reservations are requested by May 27th: (312) 822-9545.
The exhibition is open through September 16th, Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. Special Saturday hours on June 4th from 10-5pm.

"A Sense of Place" represents Chicago as one of eighty-nine satellite exhibitions featured in the Italian Pavilion in the World at the 54th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. Organized by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in honor of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy, the Italian Pavilion brings together Cultural Institutes from across the globe to promote Italian art as it has emerged internationally over the past decade. This local presentation - represented at the Venice Biennale through film - highlights the work of seven exceptional, Chicago-based artists who share a connection with Italy's landscape and culture as inspiration for their practice. Through the works on view, "A Sense of Place" also considers how we understand and engage our own experiences of a place, and how such encounters continue to permeate our sensibility.
