Rome, March 9 (BNA): Brian Eno, acclaimed British musician and visual artist who has worked with Talking Heads, U2 and David Bowie, will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement from the 2023 Venice Biennale.
Eno, 74, who describes himself as “non-musical,” rose to prominence in the early 1970s as a founding member of the band Roxy Music, according to Reuters.
Eno is known for his contributions to ambient music and work in rock, pop, and electronica.
The Music Department of the Venice Biennale has decided to honor Eno for his research into the quality, beauty and pervasiveness of digital sound and his conception of sound space as an installation tool, in a statement.
Eno will be presented with the prize at a ceremony to be held on October 22 as part of the Música Biennale 2023 in Venice.
