Owanto, The Lighthouse of Memory, Go Nogé Mènè | La Biennale di Venezia 53
Owanto was the chosen artist to represent the Republic of Gabon in what was the nation’s first participation at the Venice Biennale. The curator of the artistic project was Fernando Francés from Spain, Director of the Contemporary Art Centre of Málaga (CAC Málaga), who strictly complied with the official theme of the project proposed by that year’s general artistic director Daniel Birnbaum, whose focus was to emphasize the creative processes. Texts by Fernando Frances and Owanto, 2009. 177 pages. Christian Maretti Editore. ISBN 88-89965-72-X
