THE ALTERSEA OPERA

Lap-See Lam
with Kholod Hawash and Tze Yeung Ho
The Nordic Countries Pavilion
60th International Art Exhibition
La Biennale di Venezia
20 April – 24 November 2024
The artist Lap-See Lam will turn the Nordic Countries Pavilion at the Venice Biennale into a dragon ship filled with mythological water creatures in search of their roots. By means of a magic sail – a weave made up of stories – the ship’s passengers attempt to find their way back to places in past.
The Altersea Opera was initiated by Moderna Museet in collaboration with the Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA) and the Finnish National Gallery Kiasma (Museum of Contemporary Art). Curated by Asrin Haidari.
