Alexandra Birken, ESKALATION 58th International Art Exhibition Biennale Arte 2019 Venice, 11.05 – 24.11.2019 Read Review: https://popcinema.org/art-culture/58th-international-art-exhibition-biennale-arte-2019-venice Ralph Rugoff, director of the Hayward Gallery in London, curated the 58th Venice International Art Exhibition. The title is cerebral: May You Live in Interesting Time. An ancient Chinese saying. A maxim quoted by illustrious intellectuals. But it is false! The Chinese phrase is a legend. That is the meaning: believe in a fake. 90 countries and 79 artists participated. As always, there are two main sites in the exhibition: the Arsenale and the Giardini. An exhibition with abrupt changes, ups and downs, similar to the reactions of viewers amazed by contemporary art. In the pavilion of Russia, nobody can stand. People sit motionlessly or jump from the chairs surprised. #58InternationalArtExhibition #BiennaleArte2019 #MayYouLiveInInterestingTime #Venice #Venezia #RalphRugoff #HaywardGallery #Arsenale #Giardini #TomSaraceno #SunYuanAndPengYu #ShilpaGupta #AlexandraBirken #ChapelSistine #CappellaSistina #Michelangelo #AdrianoMearisoa #JantsankhorolErdenebayar #MikhailPiotrovsky #Hermitage #AlexanderShishkinHokusai #AlexanderSokurov #TheReturnOfTheProdigalSon #IlRitornoDelFiglioProdigo #Rembrandt #Arte #Art #ArteContemporanea #ContemporaryArt #popcinema https://popcinema.org/art-culture/58th-international-art-exhibition-biennale-arte-2019-venice https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKvdygFDAr/?igshid=xwiasg75l6s8
