Goldsmiths MFA Curating at the 61st Venice Biennale Arte 🌊
As Venice fills once again with artists, curators, filmmakers, writers and organisers from across the world, we wanted to celebrate some of the many people connected to the Goldsmiths MFA Curating programme whose work, collaborations and conversations are unfolding across the city this year.
From national pavilions and exhibitions to screenings, performances, talks, publications and informal encounters across late-night tables, Goldsmiths alumni, tutors, students and collaborators continue to shape contemporary art ecologies internationally in exciting and generous ways.
If you’re in Venice in the following weeks, keep an eye out for familiar faces, ongoing projects, chance meetings and the wider communities orbiting around the programme.
A few people and projects to look out for include:
— Nina Wakeford, Head of Research Dept & Curator of the Swiss Pavilion, ‘The Unfinished Business of Living Together’
— , Alumni & Curator of the Austrian Pavilion, ‘SEAWORLD’
— , Alumni & Curator of the Catalonia Pavilion, ‘Paper Tears’
— , Lecturer & Writer for Pauline Oliveros’s work
We’ve also been spotting some familiar faces around Venice this week, including (Alumni), (Alum), (Alum), (Lecturer), (Student), (Student) & (Alum) Alongside exhibiting artists and curators, it’s been lovely to also see members of the wider Goldsmiths community supporting projects across the Biennale including supporting Sammy Baoji’s work, supporting the Lithuanian Pavilion & supporting Forma Arts & Media at the Scottish Pavilion.

Congratulations to everyone involved this year 💙
