Beyer Projects is pleased to announce our partnership with Tavares Strachan in production of work for the Bahamas Pavilion, 2013 Venice Biennale. Vernissage TV interviewed Strachan during final installation.
"The artist Tavares Strachan represents The Bahamas in the nation's inaugural pavilion at the 55th International Art Exhibition -- La Biennale di Venezia 2013. Curated by Jean Crutchfield and Robert Hobbs, Tavares Strachan conceived an immersive installation that includes different media such as neon signs, video, sculpture, and painting, and surrounds the viewer by documentation of a reenactment of a historic narrative: the 1909 polar expedition of Robert Peary and Matthew Alexander Henson."
