The British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale
26 Sep-13 Dec 2009
Whitechapel Gallery
London E1 7QX
Overview
The Whitechapel Gallery’s exhibition space dedicated to archive displays presents a selection of material from the British Council’s archives to bring to life the history of the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale from 1938 to today. The Venice Biennale provides a barometer for contemporary art worldwide. Its history of nationalism, protest and war is closely intertwined with the wider political and ideological struggles of twentieth century Europe right back to the exhibition’s foundation in 1895 as the world’s first regular international exhibition of contemporary art.
