Jonathan Watkins to curate the Iraq Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale


Ikon Gallery director Jonathan Watkins has been named curator of the Iraq Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale. Speaking about his approach to the pavilion he said: "As much as possible the Iraq Pavilion will embody the nature of everyday life as it is lived now - both in Iraq and beyond the art world there, such as it is. We envisage a celebration of creativity in all forms, at every level of society"
