The Crochet Coral Reef is in the Venice Biennale. This year’s Biennale, curated by Hayward Gallery director Ralph Rugoff, is titled May You Live in Interesting Times and features 80 artists invited from around the world, each represented with a separate installation in the Arsenale and the Central Pavilion of the Giardini. Crochet Reef creators Christine and Margaret Wertheim are the sole Australians represented, with two beautiful subsets of the Reef project: in the Arsenale, the Bleached Reef and Toxic Reef are complimented with a site-specific Mathematics Blackboard along with Helen Bernasconi’s Hyperbolic Sea Snake and Eleanor Kent’s electroluminescent wire corals. In the Central Pavilion, a jewel-like space painted Giotto blue showcases a selection of miniature coral Pod World vitrines featuring works by some of the Reefs most skilled contributors: Nadia Severns, Kathleen Greco, Sarah Simons, Anitra Menning, Sue Von Ohlsen, Rebecca Peapples, Vonda N. MyIntyre, Lucia daVilla Havilan, Anita Bruce, and Mieko Fukuhara. See here for a gallery of images.
