Zenomap, a presentation of new work from Scotland for the Venice Biennale, has been initiated, supported and promoted by the Scottish Arts Council and the British Council and gratefully acknowledges support from the Scottish Executive.
Francis McKee and Kay Pallister were appointed to co-curate the Zenomap project. Francis is Head of Digital Art and New Media at CCA in Glasgow and is a research lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art where he teaches on the MFA course. He has curated many exhibitions including ‘Words and Things’ for the relaunch of CCA, Glasgow in 2001. For the past ten years he has written extensively on the work of Scottish artists such as Christine Borland, Ross Sinclair, Douglas Gordon and Simon Starling.
Kay Pallister has worked as a curator for ten years in both non-profit institutions and commercial galleries. Kay recently moved back to the UK (based in Glasgow) having worked in New York and mainland Europe over the last ten years. Since 1997 she has worked as a curator at Gagosian Gallery, New York and London on major productions with artists such as Richard Wright, Douglas Gordon and Vanessa Beecroft. She is currently setting up a new website called Open Frequency for Visual Associations, an agency of the Arts Council England, Arts Council Wales and Scottish Arts Council that hosts information on-line about UK contemporary artists.
Gerrie van Noord has supported the Zenomap project as Project Manager. She previously worked for Artangel, London as Head Publishing, for De Appel Foundation, Amsterdam and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, and she works as a free-lance editor.
