Disorient
Fiona Tan has been selected as the 2009 entry for the Venice Biennale by famed curator Saskia Boss. Tan has been working on a new site-specific audio-visual installation which refers to Venice's historical role as a global power before the new routes to Asia diluted its role as a major port. The localised perspective of the artwork is sure to garner much attention at this year's 53rd Biennale di Venezia.
