New Zealand's contribution to next year's Venice Art Biennale will be housed in an historic naval warehouse.
Auckland artist Lisa Reihana has been chosen to represent New Zealand at the Venice Art Biennale, the world's pre-eminent contemporary art exhibition.
Her large-scale audiovisual immersive project will be housed in Tesa dell'Isolotto, one of the oldest buildings in the Arsenale.
The venue was announced by Arts, Culture and Heritage minister Maggie Barry at a campaign launch in Auckland tonight.
Commissioner Alastair Carruthers said the venue was very important.
