Beatriz Milhazes at the 60th Venice Biennale

In her studio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Beatriz Milhazes discusses her return to Venice following her participation in the Brazilian Pavilion for the 2003 Venice Biennale.

At the Pavilion of Applied Arts, Beatriz Milhazes presents a new body of work created in collaboration with Adriano Pedrosa, curator of the 60th Biennale di Venezia, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. A varied display of textiles from countries and cultures that influenced Milhazes will be shown alongside the new paintings, works on paper, and a large-scale tapestry. Created specifically for the Pavilion, the show also offers an opportunity for observation and interaction with the architecture and history of Sale d’Armi, Arsenale.
