"Blut ist Russlands Kunst!": Proteste zum Biennale-Auftakt

Rosa Rauch, Protestchöre und Kontroversen: Der Start der 61. Biennale von Venedig steht im Zeichen globaler Konflikte. Zwischen lautem Aktivismus und politischen Verwerfungen ringt die Kunst um ihre Rolle. Der deutsche Pavillon überzeugt dabei.

»“The sound of drones is so heavy and present on a daily basis in Gaza,” artist C. Caycedo told ARTnews after the action. The song and the humming were meant “to bring to the Biennale a little bit of the reality that people in Gaza suffer every day, and resist every day.”

Another artist-participant (…) told (…) “The Biennale is normalizing …

These Toilets in Venice Have the Art World Aflush

Undoubtedly the biggest talker at this year’s Venice Biennale is the Austrian pavilion, where visitors can make their own contributions to the work on show.

At the Venice Biennale, an American Artist Plops His Sculptures on a World Stage

They may be bronze and marble, but Alma Allen’s artworks at the Venice Biennale are as intangible as air.

Warum kann man den #Biennale-Präsidenten Pietrangelo #Buttafuoco nicht einfach absetzen oder entlassen? Die Biennale ist ja keine Privatveranstaltung von ihm, und die Leitung einer Biennale selbst ist keine künstlerische Tätigkeit, sondern Management. Die Jury ist aus Protest zurückgetreten, die EU streicht Fördergelder, die italienische Regierung boykottiert die Biennale.
Was für ein enormer Imageschaden wegen eines übersteuerten Egos.

Sie ist eine der weltweit wichtigsten Ausstellungen zeitgenössischer Kunst: die Biennale in Venedig. Wenige Tage vor der Eröffnung ist es nun zum Eklat gekommen. Die internationale Jury ist geschlossen zurückgetreten.

Kunst muss frei sein. Auch die von russischen Künstler:innen.

Wenn aber Kunst ganz offensichtlich für staatliche Zwecke missbraucht wird, wie im Fall des russischen Pavillons bei der #Biennale in #Venedig, ist Widerstand nötig und richtig.

Danke Pussy Riot, danke Femen!

Why are women and 🏳️‍🌈 people always on the front lines when democracy is under attack? #FEMEN and #PussyRiot in #Venice are no coincidence.
From #Putin to #Orbán to #Erdoğan, women’s and #LGBTQ+ rights are always the first target.
#Patriarchy and #authoritarianism are the same project.
They recognize it first because they suffer it first.

Perché sono sempre le donne e le persone 🏳️‍🌈 in prima fila quando la democrazia è sotto attacco? #FEMEN e #PussyRiot a #Venezia non sono un caso.
Il Carnegie Endowment ha mappato 10 paesi: pattern identico ovunque. Da #Putin a #Orbán a #Erdoğan, i diritti delle donne e delle minoranze #LGBTQ+ sono sempre il primo obiettivo del consolidamento autoritario.
#Patriarcato e #autoritarismo sono lo stesso progetto.
Lo riconoscono prima perché lo subiscono prima.

Domani: Buttafuoco apre la Biennale e non molla. Imbarazzo FdI, ma l’alternativa non c’è

Proteste di Femen e Pussy Riot davanti al padiglione russo. Lo scrittore tira dritto e cita le parole di Mattarella e Meloni. I meloniani si sentono traditi: speravano che il presidente tornasse sui suoi passi. Però gli intellettuali d’area sono pochi

Buttafuoco opens the Biennale and doesn’t let go. Embarrassment for FdI, but there’s no alternative.

Femen and Pussy Riot protests in front of the Russian pavilion. The writer simply goes ahead and quotes the words of Mattarella and Meloni. The Melonian supporters feel betrayed: they had hoped the president would backtrack. However, intellectuals from the center-left are few.
