The 60th Venice Biennale, set to run from 20 April–24 November 2024, will be curated by Adriano Pedrosa – and some countries have already announced the artists who will exhibit in their national pavilions. ArtReview will keep a running tally as they come:
American artist Eddie Martinez will represent the pavilion of San Marino. As the world’s oldest republic, San Marino has often picked international artists for its national pavilion, a choice that honours the landlocked country’s history as a place of shelter and refuge. The exhibition title, Nomader, echoes the idea of migration and nomadism in the Biennale’s overall theme Foreigners Everywhere, while also puns on the American pronunciation of ‘no matter’. Having had an itinerant childhood, Martinez’s drawings, paintings and sculptures waver between abstraction and figuration. ‘My work is not tied to a school or genre,’ said Martinez in a statement. ‘It is a kind of superabundance of thoughts and ideas that sometimes clarifies itself.’ Alison M. Gingeras will curate.
