Teiger Foundation Donates $500,000 to Cecilia Alemani's Venice Biennale
The Teiger Foundation has become the main donor for the 2022 Venice Biennale Arte, contributing $500,000 to support curator Cecilia Alemani's exhibition 'The Milk of Dreams.' The foundation, established in 2008 by collector David Teiger, focuses on funding curatorial research and art projects. Executive Director Larissa Harris emphasized the foundation's commitment to advancing curators like Alemani, who previously received support for the 2014 Pier 54 exhibition on New York's High Line. Alemani's Biennale, running from April 23 to November 27, 2022, explores themes of transformation and coexistence amid global instability. The foundation's board deemed it essential to back Alemani's vision, which aligns with Teiger's legacy of supporting bold curatorial practices.
