Video Production
MONA productions was honored to be commissioned to document the historic exhibition, ›Sovereignty,‹ by Simone Leigh at the U.S. Pavilion, as part of the 59th Venice Biennale of Art. The sculptural work of the Golden-Lion winning artist Simone Leigh explores ideas about history, race, gender, labor and monuments. She has created a new body of work: sculptures in bronze, ceramic and raffia placed inside and outside the pavilion that highlight the often unseen and unacknowledged labor and resilience of Black women.
In this exhibition video, the pavilion’s co-commissioners Jill Medvedow (Ellen Matilda Poss Director, ICA/Boston) and Eva Respini (U.S. Pavilion Curator) speak about Leigh’s monumental exhibition, which can be viewed from April 23rd to November 27th, 2022 at the Giardini della Biennale in Venice.
