Lene Berg Discusses New Film and Norway's Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale
Lene Berg is set to showcase her film 'Dirty Young Loose (Ung Løs Gris)' at the 2024 Venice Biennale, where it is currently undergoing editing. The screening will take place at Galleria di Piazza San Marco, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa. Although the Biennale invitation has expedited her production timeline by four months, she asserts that her creative process remains consistent. Berg does not view her involvement as a representation of Norway, noting that the exhibition 'Beware of the Holy Whore' features Edvard Munch's works. Her film, filmed in Berlin, includes German dialogue with English subtitles and is financed by Norway. She recalls Hans Haacke's 'Germania' from 1993 and intends to explore shows by Alfredo Jaar and Lara Almarcegui. This interview was held by ArtReview in May.
