No Man is an Island, Grenada Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale

About

No longer a newcomer, this is the 7th consecutive time that opportunity and collaboration have fallen in line so that this herculean task can be accomplished. The Grenada Arts Council oversees this project.
 
Minister of Culture, the Honorable Ron Redhead has appointed Dr Susan Mains as the Commissioner and Dr Daniele Radini Tedeschi as the curator. An open call was sent out worldwide, and the artists were chosen following the theme of the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, “Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere”. This topic provided a fertile ground, especially for Caribbean artists, and the title chosen for the pavilion is “No Man is an Island”.
 
The following artists have been selected to present their works as Exhibitors of the Grenada Pavilion: Suelin Low Chew Tung, Benaiah Matheson, Frederika Adam, Alma Fakhre, Jason de Caires Taylor, Angelo Accardi, Antonello Diodato Guardigli, Lorenzo Marini, Gabriele Maquignaz, Nello Petrucci, and artistic collective Breakfast.

Mains and Tedeschi have worked together before, in 2019 and 2022, and found that the collaboration spawned a rich creative matrix in which the artists grew. The resulting network has conducted to many beneficial opportunities for artists in Grenada. The Start Group of Italy has provided significant sponsorship, thus enabling Grenada’s participation.
