http://www.vernissage.tv | For the Venice Biennale 2011, Mike Nelson created a large-scale installation titled "I, Impostor" in the British Pavilion in the Giardini. Walk-through.
Mike Nelson's work "I, Impostor" is probably one of the most complex and costly presentations at the 54th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy. The new work of the British installation artist Mike Nelson is a large-scale sculptural installation that leads the visitor through a dark labyrinth-like structure. Mike Nelson has already exhibited in Venice, his work "The Deliverance and the Patience" was shown as part of the collateral program at the 49th edition of the Venice Biennale in 2001.
For his exhibition at the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2011, Mike Nelson refers to the work "Magazin: Büyük Valide Han" that he created for the 8th International Istanbul Biennial in 2003. Nelson has relocated and re-worked this earlier installation for Venice, thus creating a link between the two cities Istanbul and Venice, both former great mercantile centers of the east-west/west-east axes.
Since 1938 the British Council has been responsible for the British Pavilion in Venice. Commissioner for the British Pavilion 2011 is Andrea Rose, the Curator is Richard Riley.

I still wonder how Mike managed to squeeze a piece of abandoned living quartier into the British pavilion, an astonishing portion of shaggy Istanbul, a frozen moment of time full of unrevealed memories!
