Eva Rothschild Represents Ireland at 2019 Venice Biennale with Social Sculptures

Eva Rothschild will represent Ireland at the 2019 Venice Biennale with an exhibition of four multi-element sculptures in the Arsenale. She describes the exhibition as a social space designed for visitor interaction. Rothschild considers representing Ireland an honor that strengthens her connection to the country's artistic community, despite living abroad for many years. Her work aims to balance transnational appeal with personal specificity, reflecting both universal forms and daily life influences. She believes the Biennale brings international attention to each nation's visual arts culture. Rothschild recalls the excitement of Venice's arrival and the city's unique atmosphere where historical and contemporary art coexist. She looks forward to seeing exhibitions by Cathy Wilkes and neighboring pavilions from Ghana, Slovenia, Chile, Argentina, and Indonesia. The 2019 Venice Biennale runs from May 11 to November 24.
