30 Collateral Events Announced for 2024 Venice Biennale
The 60th Venice Biennale, titled 'Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere' and curated by Adriano Pedrosa, will run from April 20 to November 24, 2024, at the Giardini and Arsenale. Thirty collateral events have been selected, organized by non-profit institutions across Venice. The theme, borrowed from the Claire Fontaine collective's 2004 neon series and inspired by the Turin-based anti-racist and anti-homophobic collective, explores the concept of universal foreignness. Participating projects hail from 27 cities worldwide, including Bangkok, Barcelona, Berlin, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Gangneung-si, Göttingen, Gwangju, Hanover, Hong Kong, Lagos, London, Long Beach, Macao, Madrid, Mumbai, New York, Paris, San Juan, Seoul, Solingen, Taipei, Toronto, Venice, Wakefield, Warsaw, Wonju-Si, and Hebron/Palestine. Notable among them is 'Anchor in the Landscape' by Artists and Allies of Hebron, an activist art NGO run by South African artist Adam Broomberg, supporting Palestinian human rights through non-violent poetic means. Other highlights include 'Berlinde De Bruyckere: City of Refuge III' at the Abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore, 'Ernest Pignon-Ernest – untitled' by Fondation Louis Vuitton, 'Jim Dine – Dog on the Forge' by Kunsthaus Göttingen, and 'Peter Hujar: Portraits in Life and Death' at the Ukrainian Museum in New York. The collateral events aim to multiply perspectives and voices, aligning with Pedrosa's vision of embracing overlooked narratives.
