After almost 25 years of critical sniping, Australia's pavilion at the Venice Biennale will finally be replaced. Even the pavilion architect Philip Cox is on record as urging that the original was intended to be a temporary structure only.
Australia Council Chairman James Strong said in Venice that a new pavilion design will be selected by invitation from a small hand-selected group of Australian architects with a brief to produce a functional exhibition space that works for the artist and complies with Venetian authorities' requirements.
