Art exhibition of the world: Political Art and Coping for the Future at the Venice Biennale

The oldest and most important art exhibition in the world, the 60th Biennale in Venice, is the focus of the next issue of "TTT - title, theses, temperaments". The current press release raises the question of what distinguishes political art from politics and how art artists do politics in contrast to politicians. It is also discussed how art can help heal the world. The exhibition shows works of art that deal with topics such as war, violence and injustice. Seen locally, these questions could also be of interest in Berlin, since the city has a flourishing art scene and attracts politically committed artists. A table with information on the various country pavilions and their artists could give readers an overview of the variety of the exhibition. Historically, the Venice Biennale is known for its pioneering works of art and has often triggered political discussions. The exhibition in the German Pavilion this year is not dedicated to coping with the past, but of "coping with the future". The prescription of the pavilion by the Israeli multimedia artist Yael Bartana is described as particularly successful and innovative. The British pavilion is presented by John Akomfrah, who presents a composition of sounds and visions. It is worth noting that Jeffrey Gibson is the first indigenous artist to play the United States pavilion and represents American history from the perspective of the original residents. The exhibition of the Biennale curator Adriano Pedrosa deals with the global history of modernity and its effects in different parts of the world. The contribution of "TTT - Title, Theses, Temperaments" is available on the day of broadcast from 8:00 p.m. in the ARD Mediathek. The editors are headed by Franz Xaver Karl (BR).
