Fred Wilson: Speak of Me as I Am: 50th Venice Biennale

4/5 ( ratings)

The United States will be represented at the 50th Venice Biennale by an artist known for questioning accepted notions of "truth" via combinations of historical artifacts, art objects, film, video, audio and altered museum labels. Fred Wilson's U.S pavilion will deal with Renaissance Venice and the role black Africans played in what was then the most cosmopolitan and ethnically diverse city in the world. Part of Wilson's exhibition will focus on the more personal themes of sadness and regret and will include new individual works and an installation about the legend of Othello, the Moor of Venice.
