António Ole Curates Angola Pavilion at 2015 Venice Biennale

António Ole, an artist and curator from Angola, is in charge of the Angola Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, happening in 2015 as a collateral event. Located at the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello, Palazzo Pisani, San Marco 2810, the pavilion features artists like Binelde Hyrcan, Délio Jasse, Francisco Vidal, Nelo Teixeira, and Ole himself. He emphasizes the need for intergenerational dialogue and a fresh approach in Angolan art. Ole feels the weight of responsibility after Angola won the Golden Lion at the previous Biennale, especially given the economic challenges of representing his country. This is his third time participating in the Biennale since showcasing in 2003. He looks forward to exploring various venues, noting the impact of Angola's cultural presence on its art scene. An exclusive questionnaire by ArtReview was released on April 14, 2015.
