The Bahamas returns to the Venice Biennale with a joy-filled posthumous collaboration
"John Beadle was preparing to represent The Bahamas at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015, focusing on the connection between Venice and The Bahamas as archipelagos."
"The Bahamian government withdrew support for Beadle's participation, opting to invest in smaller regional festivals instead, which delayed his representation until 2026."
"In Another Man's Yard will showcase Beadle's work alongside Lavar Munroe, highlighting the mentorship Beadle provided to younger Bahamian artists."
"Amanda Coulson, the commissioner, reflects on the limited opportunities for artists in The Bahamas and her dedication to elevating their visibility through her gallery."
John Beadle was set to represent The Bahamas at the 2015 Venice Biennale but lost government support. His work will now be exhibited in 2026, two years after his death. The exhibition, titled In Another Man's Yard, will feature Beadle's work alongside Lavar Munroe, a protégé of Beadle. Amanda Coulson, the commissioner, emphasizes the lack of opportunities for Bahamian artists and her commitment to promoting their work through various platforms, including her gallery Tern.
