  • Venice's Giardini Della Biennale and the Geopolitics of Architecture
    FOLKLORIC MODERNISM: VENICE’S GIARDINI DELLA BIENNALE AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF ARCHITECTURE Joel Robinson This paper considers the national pavilions of the Venice Biennale, the largest and longest running exposition of contemporary art. It begins with an investigation of the post-fascist landscape of Venice’s Giardini della Biennale, whose built environment continued to evolve in the decades after 1945 with the construction of several new pavilions. With a view to exploring the architectural infrastructure of an event that has always billed itself as ‘international’, the paper asks how the mapping of national pavilions in this context might have changed to reflect the supposedly post-colonial and democratic aspirations of the West after the Second World War. Homing in on the nations that gained representation here in the 1950s and 60s, it looks at three of the more interesting architectural additions to the gardens: the pavilions for Israel, Canada and Brazil. These raise questions about how national pavilions are mobilised ideologically, and form/provide the basis for a broader exploration of the geopolitical superstructure of the Biennale as an institution. Keywords: pavilion, Venice Biennale, modernism, nationalism, geopolitics, postcolonialist. Joel Robinson, The Open University Joel Robinson is a Research Affiliate in the Department of Art History at the Open University and an Associate Lecturer for the Open University in the East of England. His main interests are modern and contemporary art, architecture and landscape studies.

  • Shifting Perspectives in the Venice Biennale's Hungarian Exhibition
    17 Looking Forwards or Back? Shifting Perspectives in the Venice Biennale’s Hungarian Exhibition: 1928 and 1948 KINGA BÓDI 268 Kinga Bódi Kinga Bódi, PhD, is curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. As a doctoral fellow at the Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK–ISEA) she investigated the cultural representation of Hungary at the Venice Biennale from its beginnings until 1948. In her present essay, Bódi jointly discusses the frst contemporary avant-garde Hungarian show in Venice in 1928 and the Biennale edition of 1948, which she interprets as a counterpoint of sorts to the one twenty years earlier, defned by conservative ideological principles and neo-Classicism. Her study examines the historical, social, cultural, political, artistic, professional, and personal background of these two specifc years of Hungarian participation in Venice. At the same time, her essay contributes to current international dialogues on the changing role of international exhibitions, curatorial activities, and (museum) collections. (BH) Looking Forwards or Back? Shifting Perspectives in the Venice Biennale’s Hungarian Exhibition: 1928 and 19481 From 1895 to 1948, it was self-evident that Hungary would take part in the Venice Biennale. During this period, the country too kept in step, more or less, with the artistic and conceptual changes that governed the Biennale, virtually the sole major international exhibition opportunity for Hungarian artists then and now. Tis is perhaps why, for the 124 years since the frst participation, the question of the Hungarian Pavilion has remained at the centre of domestic art-scene debates. Comparing nations has always been a facet of the Venice Biennale.

  • 56Th Venice Biennale—Main Exhibition, National Pavilions, Off-Site and Museums
    56th Venice Biennale—Main exhibition, National Pavilions, Off-Site and Museums by Chris Sharp May 2015 Adrian Ghenie, Darwin and the Satyr, 2014. Okay, in the event that you, dear reader(s), are not too tired of the harried Venice musings of the art-agenda corps rearing up in your inbox, here’s a final reflection. Allow me to start with an offensively obvious observation. In case you haven’t noticed, Venice is not particularly adapted to the presentation of contemporary art. In fact, this singular city is probably the least appropriate place to show contemporary art, or art of any kind, and this is from a totally practical point of view. From the aquatic transportation of works to questions of humidity to outmoded issues of national representation, Venice is not merely an anachronism but also, and perhaps more importantly, a point of extravagance without parallel in the global art-circuit calendar. When you learn how much it costs to get on the map even as a collateral event, you understand that the sheer mobilization of monies and resources that attends this multifarious, biannual event is categorically staggering. This mobilization is far from limited to communication as well as the production and transportation of art, but also includes lodging, dinners, and parties. For example, the night of my arrival, I found myself at a dinner for 400 people in a fourteenth-century palazzo. Given in honor of one artist, it was bankrolled by her four extremely powerful galleries, who, if they want to remain her galleries and stay in the highest echelons of commercial power, must massively throw down for this colossal repast and subsequent party, on top of already, no doubt, jointly co-funding the production of her pavilion, while, incidentally, co-funding other dinners, parties, and so on and so forth.

  • Artforum (May 9, 2019)
    INTERESTING. Few words have such angular ambiguity, signifying both a ​ viewer’s interpretive generosity while subtly acknowledging that the thing in question just might not be that good. Ralph Rugoff, the artistic director of the ​ ​ fifty-eighth Venice Biennale, which opened Tuesday to select press and professionals, played on the word’s double meaning in the title for his show, “May You Live in Interesting Times,” a phrase attributed as an “ancient Chinese curse,” but, like, the Ivanka Trump/fortune cookie variety, with no actual “ancient” or “Chinese.” The dash of Orientalism was either snarkily intentional from the start, or simply reclaimed as snarkily intentional after news of the title riled tempers east of the Urals. So how’s the exhibition itself? Interesting. ​ Rugoff has packed his show of roughly eighty artists with whizzbang Instagrams-in-waiting, through an eclectic survey of exclusively living artists that felt more like someone had emptied Chelsea and the Lower East Side (the new, tonier one, not the one from seven years ago) into the Giardini’s Central Pavilion. But after a day of mulling it over, I decided this zeitgeist approach could be a throwback to the biennial’s days as a salon rather than a definitive statement on our life and times. Rugoff might argue that this is his point: In an age of “fake news” and myriad malleable perspectives, consensus is no longer possible. Even his exhibition is divided in two, with Proposition A in the Arsenale and Proposition B in the Giardini. In the absence of a strong thesis or even a clear curatorial vision, what we get is call and response.

HD video. Pilar Corrias is pleased to present Swinburne’s Pasiphae, the second solo exhibition by American artist Mary Reid Kelley with the gallery, featuring a new film alongside props, drawings, and photographic portraits. Swinburne’s Pasiphae (2014) follows Priapus Agonistes (2013) in an ongoing trilogy that explores the mythological Minotaur’s tragic family tree. For the first time Reid Kelley adapts an existing text, using Victorian poet Algernon Charles Swinburne’s dramatic fragment Pasiphae to tell the unlikely story of the Minotaur’s conception. Unpublished during Swinburne’s lifetime, probably due to its shocking sexual theme, the poem stages an interaction between master artisan Daedalus and the Minotaur’s mother, the bewitched Minoan Queen Pasiphae, who is cursed with an insatiable wish to mate with a beautiful bull. Symbolising, respectively, reckless creative power and the torment of unfulfilled desire, Daedalus and Pasiphae indelibly dramatise the complex collaboration of artist and audience. Mary Reid Kelley works primarily in video. Captivated by the portrayal of women throughout history, her films glean stories from significant historical periods, especially moments of cataclysm. Her early suite of films take inspiration from female archetypes of the World War I era, whose stories were largely unrecorded, namely a nurse from the Western Front (The Queen’s English, 2008), a munitions worker (Sadie, the Saddest Sadist, 2009), and a prostitute from the frontline (You Make me Iliad, 2010).

  • De Biënnale Van Venetië Een Handleiding Op Sneakers
    De Biënnale van Venetië Een handleiding op sneakers. Door Chantal Pattyn. Alles voor de kunst Van maandag tot donderdag om 17u THE SUMMER OF LOVE AND ART 2017 is een historisch jaar voor de beeldende kunst. Na een proloog in Athene (nog tot 16 juli) vindt in Kassel de vijfjaarlijkse Documenta plaats. Op een steenworp daarvandaan, in Münster, is er Skulptur Projekte, dat slechts om de tien jaar wordt georganiseerd en deze keer in handen is van de oude en wijze curator Kasper König. Maar om de twee jaar trekken wij trouw naar de grand old lady aller tentoonstellingen: La Biennale di Venezia. De Dogen- stad kreunt dan nog meer dan anders onder het gewicht van de kunst, met naast de Biënna- le zelf tal van tentoonstellingen, zoals van Damien Hirst, Philip Guston en Shirin Neshat. De Belgen zijn alvast goed vertegenwoordigd. Dirk Braeckman toont zijn sublieme foto’s in het Belgisch Paviljoen. Koen Vanmechelen steelt de show aan het Canal Grande met een bronzen kippenpoot en twee gigantische eieren. Jan Fabre is present met Glass and Bone Sculptures. Edith Dekyndt is met prachtig werk vertegenwoordigd op Viva Arte Viva. Axel Vervoordt pakt voor de laatste keer het Palazzo Fortuny in met de innemende tentoonstelling Intuition. Geen mens die het allemaal bekeken kan krijgen, maar voor uw mentaal comfort, alsmede antici- perend op zere voeten en een hoofd dat van al die beelden zeer explosief kan worden, lijst ik een paar persoonlijke hoogtepunten op. De Biënnale vindt traditioneel plaats in de Giardini, het mooie park van Venetië. In het Cen- trale Paviljoen kan je het eerste deel van de grote tentoonstelling bekijken.

  • The Best of the Venice Biennale 2015 Highlights from the International Art Extravaganza
    The best of the Venice Biennale 2015 Highlights from the international art extravaganza MAY 18 2015 PERNILLA HOLMES The opening of the 2015 Venice Biennale, All the World’s Futures, struck a distinctly sobering tone, with politics, environmental degradation, social inequality, migration and conflict (often handled with a great sense of fragility) dominating Okwui Enwezor’s curated exhibition and many of the national pavilions as well. But so too was there beauty in the video works, sculpture, painting, installations, music and performances that made up Enwezor’s vision of a “parliament of forms” – the term he uses to describe his round embrace of all artistic media and disciplines. Around town there were also plenty of not-to-be-missed shows striking very different tones, and the highlights are well worth making time for. Central Pavilion 1) The Arena – This is Enwezor’s major innovation in the Central Pavilion of the Giardini, for which he invited art world star-chitect David Adjaye to design a theatre-like space for performance art. The foundation upon which the show is built is the reading of Marx’s Das Kapital, directed by Isaac Julien. Other ongoing performances include a piece by Olaf Nicolai – an homage to Italy’s avant- garde composer Luigi Nono and his Un Volto, e del Mare/Non Consumiamo Marx – and, one of the clear stars of the biennale, jazz composer and artist Jason Moran, whose Work Songs, sung by mezzosoprano Alicia Hall Moran (third picture), analyse both the structure and feeling of the songs of slaves and inmates. 2) Fabio Mauri – Viewers entering the Central Pavilion are immediately confronted by a monumental wall of old suitcases.

  • PRESS RELEASE 1646 Presents: Mary Reid Kelley During the Hague Contemporary Art Weekend
    PRESS RELEASE 1646 presents: Mary Reid Kelley during The Hague Contemporary Art Weekend During the second edition of The Hague Contemporary Art Weekend, 1646 presents three video works of Mary Reid Kelley. The Hague Contemporary Art Weekend consists of an elaborate programme of exhibitions, openings, performances, artist talks, tours, club/performance nights, flm screenings and more on 19 locations in the city. The festival kicks off on Friday the 5th of July at 17:00 hrs, with the opening of the Graduation Festival of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (KABK Den Haag). 1646 Starts opens its program on Saturday 6 July at 5pm. Mary Reid Kelley combines painting, performance, and a distinctive wordplay-rich poetry in her polemical, graphically stylized videos. Performing as a First World War soldier, a grisette in revolutionary Paris, or the Minotaur, she resurrects characters that embody particular facets of ideas in time. Her historically specifc tableaux enclose dilemmas of mortality, sex, and estrangement, navigated by the characters in punning dialogue that traps them between tragic and comic meanings. 1646 presents the following works: Priapus Agonistes (2013) condenses elements of Greek drama and mythology with details of the church volleyball tournament that the artist remembers from her childhood. The Minotaur is re-imagined as a lost daughter in a labyrinth in a gymnasium basement, her sacrifces coming in the form of members of the losing volleyball team. Like Jorge Luis Borges’ portrait of the Minotaur as antihero in The House of Asterion, the Minotaur of Priapus Agonistes is hopelessly lost in an environment of repetitive space, using the murdered sacrifces as landmarks to help her navigate a path to the lavatory.

  • Visiting Artists: Mary Reid Kelley & Patrick Kelley
    Visiting Artists: Mary Reid Kelley & Patrick Kelley Monday, March 27, 6:30p Sleeper Auditorium About the Kelleys Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley are a husband-and-wife collaborative duo whose work collides video, performance, painting and writing. Their highly theatrical vignettes performed by the duo feature her scripts, painted sets and costumes and his videography and editing to explore gender, class, and social norms within history, art, and literature. The artists’ use wordplay, punning and rhyme as a humorous and incisive means of deconstructing how history is written and represented. Their short films focus on historical moments of social upheaval, often uncovering the stories and voices of historically underrepresented figures. Female protagonists such as nurses, prostitutes, and factory workers relate to their larger social histories through philosophical references, euphemisms and bawdy puns, all set within the parameters of rhyming verse. Mary Reid Kelley earned a BA from St. Olaf College and an MFA from Yale University. She is the recipient of the MacArthur Foundation Grant, has received awards from the American Academy in Rome, the Rema Hort Mann Foundation, and the College Art Association. Major exhibitions include Salt Lake Art Center, SITE Santa Fe, Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, and ZKM Museum of Contemporary Art in Karlsruhe, Germany. Patrick Kelley earned a BFA from St. Olaf College and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has taught Photography, Video and New Media courses at the University of Minnesota, St. Olaf College, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and Skidmore College in New York. His works have shown at the Bibliothèque Publique d’Information-Centre Pompidou, Paris, France, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Germany, and the Minnesota Museum of American Art.
