This powerful and stirring object is reminiscent of a Trojan horse fighting for the human right to free mobility. Over a thousand illegal migrants making their way to Europe died in the incident. The staggering ready-made installations based on pre-existing or modified machines provide a critical commentary on the world devoured by consumerism as well as our pursuit of fake values, which overshadows a mindful existence.įor instance, the notorious piece by Christopher Büchel (Switzerland) consists of the shipwreck retrieved from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Venice Biennale certainly knows how to reap benefits from flourish and controversy. This edition of Venice Biennale exemplifies a meticulously planned and executed blockbuster art show with a strong underlying concept.Ĭhristoph Büchel, Barca Nostra, 2018-2019, Shipwreck 18th of April 2015,58th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, May You Live In Interesting Times, photo by Andrea Avezzù, Courtesy: La Biennale di Venezia As a result, the audience can not only discern a broader context of someone’s art practice, but also observe the corresponding and occasionally even symbiotic relations between various pieces included in the exhibit. The 58th exhibition was downsized substantially by Rugoff, who also maintained a proportional representation of male and female artists – each of seventy-nine participants unveils two separate works displayed in the Arsenale and the Central Pavilion. The invited artists embrace critical thinking on the most pressing subjects dominating the global conversation, from political squabbles to fantastical visions of the future. “ May you live in interesting times” is the title of the international art exhibition curated by Ralph Rugoff at this year’s La Biennale di Venezia. Hunger, poverty, violence, lives saturated with stories whose course can no longer be altered, identity issues on top of all that, gender fluidity, faith, ephemeral social concerns appearing and disappearing in an instant.
