Geoffrey Farmer stayed from 12th July until 20th August 2019 in the Gastatelier.
Last summer, the Canadian artist Geoffrey Farmer was a guest at the Sitterwerk, where he developed and transformed the finds, the historical, regional, unexpected, and the archived in his work for the Venice Biennale’s Canadian Pavilion. In collaboration with the Art Library, the Material Archive, and Sitterwerk’s staff and the Kunstgiesserei, an elaborate and complex installation was created, transforming the Canadian Pavilion at the Venetian Giardini into a giant fountain and capturing it in its present form one last time.
