Venice Diary Day 3: The Biennale’s Best Pavilions Capture the Absurdity of Art in this Moment
via artnews.comI have a favorite pavilion—if you’ll permit me a superlative, despite not having seen every single one. For five days, I ran around Venice pounding cappuccinos, my step count uptick fueled by FOMO. Still, this was not enough time to see everything I wanted. (Is it just me, or are there more good collateral shows than ever before?)Never mind—I can’t get the Austria pavilion out of my head. There, in the Giardini, the Ukrainian ballet dancer Oksana Serheieva rehearses at th -
In the Venice Biennale’s Historical Sections, Overlooked 20th-Century Figures Come into Focus
via artnews.comIf you take a look at a given artist list for a recurring exhibition over the past hundred years, you’ll most certainly find yourself recognizing quite a few names (several if it was a consequential show), while also wondering to yourself who are some of these artists you’ve never heard of and what about their work drew the curators to them, only for them to become a footnote in art history.In many ways, resurrecting artists like those is the central concern of one half of the 2024 V -

Let’s tell the story of art without men | Letters
via theguardian.comDr Suzy Tutchell champions the work of past and present female artists, while Caroline Higgitt takes Francesco Vezzoli’s challengeIf the art world is so “vast and varied”, as the subheading on your article says (Art unlocked, 13 April), why were 10 male artists and only three women artists featured? Why, yet again, are we being asked to consider masterworks, “old and new”, which reflect a not-so-varied, male-dominated canon?It’s 2024, Katy Hessel has writ -
The Guardian view on the Royal Academy: reframing a bloody past | Editorial
via theguardian.comThe Royal Academy is examining the part it has played in Britain’s history of slavery and empire – and the usual carping suspects will not be pleasedVery recent visitors from Mars may not know of the regular attacks on the National Trust for being “woke”, but the rest of us have heard plenty.

Christoph Büchel Returns with Another Venice Provocation, Addressing the War in Gaza, NFTs, and More
via artnews.comOne thing is for sure, and it’s that Christoph Büchel knows how to piss off Venice Biennale attendees.In 2015, for the Icelandic Pavilion, the Swiss artist opened a functioning mosque, billing it as the first religious site of its kind in the city. It was shut down after two weeks, apparently for safety concerns, but by that time, the pavilion had gotten a good deal of negative press. (There were also a few defenders in the wake of the decision to shutter the pavilion.)His contributio -

The 10 Best National Pavilions at the Venice Biennale, From a Cut-Up Giraffe to Body Horror in a Church
via artnews.comTypically, the Venice Biennale’s national pavilions play second fiddle to the main exhibition—which is ironic, considering that there is about as much art, if not more, on view in them than what’s contained in the Arsenale and the Giardini combined. But this year, with a main exhibition that called into question the notion of countries altogether, it was not possible to ignore the national pavilions.Even before the Biennale began, controversy surrounded the Israel Pavilion, who -

Put on by the Vatican pavilion,the show is at Giudecca Women’s Prison; the bouncers are prison guards, and it’s hard to get an appointment.

Meeting of the Minds: James Lee Byars and Seung-taek Lee’s Art Convene for an Introspective Collateral Event in Venice
