Barca Nostra isimli tekne 2015 yılında 800’den fazla Libyalı göçmen için Akdeniz’de bir mezar haline geldi😔. Batışının ardından 2019 yılında İsviçreli-İzlandalı sanatçı Chirstoph Büchel, Venedik Bienali’de gemiyi sergilemeye yönelik bir girişim başlattı. 🛳 📝🔗 Sergiyi ve Barca Nostra olayını anlattığımız yazımız senin için neredenbaksan.com’da.

Barca Nostra, 2019 by Barca Nostra @veneziaunica #VeneziaUnica @la_Biennale #BiennaleArte2019 @comunevenezia #BarcaNostra The fishing vessel sank on April 19, 2015, after a tragic collision with a Portuguese container ship that had come to its rescue. The Italian Navy estimates that more than 800 migrants died on the vessel, trapped inside its hull. Just twenty-eight people were saved. Four years after the tragic shipwreck, the boat was released on April 18, 2019, destined for Venice. For the duration of the 58th La Biennale di Venezia, the ship was bearing witness to the thousands who have died attempting to cross the Mediterranean.

So excited we just found this beautiful gem & in a thrift store !?! Curator & Conceptual Artist #FredWilson’s “Untitled, (#VeniceBiennale)”, limited edition 73x101cm (29x39.75in) C-print for the 50th #BiennaleDiVenezia in 2003 where he exhibited as the US representative artist. Wilson juxtaposes a print of a Venetian city scape w gondolas to an image of a painted statue of a “blackamoor,” an Early Modern exoticized depiction of an #African figure. In both his U.S. Pavilion installation & in this related print, Wilson references the uncredited African immigrants who have influenced Venetian culture for centuries. Of the work, Wilson says, “The African, the Black, the Negro, the Moor remains unacknowledged yet constant & lingering presence in Venice, inhabiting both its past as seen in Venetian visual culture & its contemporary life by the active presence today of African immigrants, more specifically Senegalese, who now inhabit the margins of Venice” It is these histories that Wilson sets out to explore & expose: By laying a historically complex image of an African prominently over a landscape clearly recognizable as early Venice, Wilson is asking the viewer to confront conditions of the past that are still visible in the everyday cityscape. Both images are presented as blending into each other: the landscape can be seen through of the image of the statue & vice versa. Through this very idea of “blending in,” Wilson points out the ways these histories are intertwined, but not necessarily resolved. • Also makes one think of today’s issues of immigration & the display of the #BarcaNostra” in the #Arsenale in Venice by artist #ChristophBüchel, it sunk off the Libyan coast at least 800 people, mostly African immigrants whose identities will never be known headed for Europe possibly Italy, for a dream of a better life, are believed to have died in the capsizing of the vessel on April 18, 2015. • @labiennale “#MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes” #BiennaleArte2019 • #artcollector #artadvisor #artcurator #artadvisory #joakimvonditmar #DestineeRoss @desti.knee #muse #womeninthearts #representation #blackwomen #blackness • #biennale #venicebiennale2019 #biennaledivenezia2019 (at Venice, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxKjAmyFOq-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18xv0unwmbzvt
