Lumturi Blloshmi will be the artist representing our country’s pavilion at the 59th edition of the International Art Biennale in Venice.
The artist, unfortunately, passed away a year ago from COVID-19 and in order to honor her life’s work, curator Adela Demetja said that the process of selection for 10-12 of her works, which will make up Albania’s pavilion in Venice is underway. In addition, she said that there will be an additional two contributions to this pavilion, as a tribute to Blloshmi.
An experimental documentary film in collaboration with a Mexican director as well as the launch of a digital archive of her life’s work will be available for public viewing from April – November 2022.
We know little of her, which is why this project will give us a chance to get to know her better, said the curator.
“Lume is known as one of the first Albanian artists that have incorporated performance in her work. She then moved on to installation, photography, sculpture, while always adding hints and a presence of panting in these modern mediums,” – said Demetja.
Some of Lumturi Blloshmi’s work can be found at the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art.
