Last days of the Biennale
Sunday the 24th of November marks the last day of the Icelandic Pavilion this year at the Venice Biennale in Italy. Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir´s exhibition "This is a Very Large Number (Commerzbau)" has been on view for seven months. The exhibition will open again in Iceland in February, at the National Gallery of Iceland.
Dancing for a Regime Change
Austria's representative at this year's Venice Biennale is the artist Anna Jermolaewa. She was born in the Soviet Union in 1970 but fled the country at the age of nineteen and settled in Austria. She was one of the founding members of an opposition party in the Soviet Union and one of the editors of a newspaper that was highly critical of the authorities. Jermolaewa and her colleagues were thus involved in a criminal case where they were accused of inciting opposition to the authorities and of spreading propaganda and that is why she decided to escape the country.
Nomination proposals for the Icelandic Visual Art Prize 2025
Submissions for nomination proposals are now open for the Icelandic Visual Art Prize, set to be awarded for the eighth time in 2025.
The Power of Inclusion
In recent years, there has been significant progress in terms of diversity and accessibility within the art world, which has historically been rather homogenous. Western exhibition spaces have traditionally been dominated by works from cisgender, heterosexual, non-disabled white men. However, this mindset has been shifting and improving over the past few decades, thanks to individuals and projects dedicated to promoting inclusion within the art world.
