Burial & Four Tet Feat. Thom Yorke - Ego

Frankie Knuckles - Your Love (Original)

During this year's Venice Biennale, artist Richard Bell wrapped a replica of the Australian Pavilion in chains, put it on a barge, and sailed it through the Venetian lagoon. In conjunction, Bell also presented his ongoing project Embassy (2013-), pitching a tent in Venice's Giardini.

Both art spectacle and critique, Bell’s Venice project began after he was shortlisted – but not selected – to be Australia’s official representative at the Venice Biennale. The project, which was driven by inclusivity and true community spirit as an act of art activism, was initially funded by the artist himself, Milani Gallery and a crowd funding campaign. The Australia Council for the Arts and Arts QLD also supported the project. 

Join Bell in conversation with Larissa Behrendt, Distinguished Professor and Director of Research and Academic Programs at the Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning at the University of Technology Sydney, as he shares the stories surrounding this monumental feat. This discussion will explore working outside institutional frameworks, the impacts of colonialism and global capitalism, and responses to Bell's project from invited guests, leading First Nations artists and academics from around the globe.
