Alberto Grollo

We met Alberto when he performed at the Italian Cultural Institute in London. Grollo is one of the most talented composer/guitar players of the Italian musical scene and reached the top ten in the ambient music charts in the USA. He will be playing at the Travelling Light private view in Venice on Sunday 7 June. For more info see www.albertogrollo.com

 Explorations into the Known World, Venice 5 - 7 June 2009

This is a collaboration between artists Liz Sheridan and Cedric Christie, part of the Venice Biennale fringe on the weekend 5 - 7 June 2009. Sheridan intends to paddle the kayak round the canals of Venice to coincide with the opening events and will be mooring at the Travelling Light venue and joining us for a drink and a chat on Saturday 6 June around 2-3pm. Look out for her customised sea kayak, emblazoned with names of famous explorers disguised as corporate logos. Liz and her art kayak will go on to explore overlooked margins of the European continent. Find out more at www.explorationsintotheknownworld.blogspot.com/

Mireille Haddad

Florence-based Canadian research student Mireille Haddad is writing a thesis on the reception of Travelling Light by a chosen group of audiences both in London and at the Venice Biennale. The research looks at how different audiences make sense of the same artworks, especially in relation to the international scope of the exhibition. She successfully conducted a series of interviews with visitors in London and wishes to do the same in Venice. We alert our visitors to her presence at the Venice venue and ask you to assist her in her research. Thank you!

Roma Tearne

Roma Tearne is one of the 58 selected for Travelling Light. A Sri Lankan born artist and writer whose first book, Mosquito, was shortlisted for the 2008 Costa First Novel Award, her participation in our Venice Biennale exhibition accompanies the release of her latest book, Brixton Beach on 1st June 2009.
