Building Bridges 

   Building Bridges is composed of six pairs of monumental ‘stone’ hands ranging from 10 to 12 metres in height and 20 to 30 metres in width. Each pair of hands signifies a different ‘universal value’: ‘Friendship’ through palms touching; ‘Wisdom’ through youth and age; ‘Help’ represented through a clasp of mutual strength and restraint; ‘Faith’ through the hand of a child in the hand of an adult; ‘Hope’ through a first joining of interlaced fingers; and ‘Love’ through a passionate interlocking of hands.

The joining of hands symbolises our commonality, what we share and our ability to unite with an emphasis on bridging differences in all aspects of life – geographically, spiritually, philosophically, culturally and emotionally. The hands suggest a need for contact beyond self-interest, striving for human collaboration and unity. Quinn uses them to communicate complex emotions through a lexicon of gestures and touch, reflecting an ethos of connection and exchange through the language of art.

As part of the Venice Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Building Bridges will be installed adjacent to the entrance of the Arsenale, a complex of twelfth-century shipyards in the Castello District of Venice. By using the Arsenale as a site for installation, the work draws a connection to the city and its history as one of the greatest trading powers in Europe, the Western end of the Silk Road trade route and a huge naval power. Its position today as a World Heritage City attracting tourists from all nations continues the city’s history as a meeting point of culture, and aligns with Quinn’s message of world unity.
