Welsh Pavilion curator 2009
Congratulations to Bruce Haines, of Camden Arts Centre and Ancient & Modern Gallery in London, on his appointment as curator of the next Venice Biennale’s Welsh Pavilion.
First it’s a Brit (Liam Gillick) asked to represent Germany, now it’s the director of a commercial gallery curating a national pavilion. Is this a precedent? Probably not, although I can’t remember a previous example. In 2011 can we expect to see Yvon Lambert curating the Australian Pavilion or Gavin Brown putting together a show for Romania? Stranger things continue to happen.
