With My Eyes
Through November 24, 2024
Casa di reclusione femminile Giudecca, Venice
www.labiennale.org
With My Eyes, the Vatican’s exhibition for the Holy See Pavilion in the 60th Biennale di Venezia, is sited within the women’s prison on the island of Giudecca and is dedicated to the theme of human rights and people living on the margins of society. The works on view incorporate the inmates’ participation in a variety of ways: some have provided photographs of themselves as children; some contribute poems for an installation; and others accompany visitors on a tour of the pavilion, alongside guards. Maurizio Cattelan’s contribution consists of a large outdoor artwork on the façade of the prison’s chapel, as well as an editorial feature, created in collaboration with the prisoners, which will be published in a special Biennale-focused issue of L’Osservatore di Strada, a monthly newspaper published by the Vatican.

60th Biennale di Venezia: Stranieri Ovunque—Foreigners Everywhere
Through November 24, 2024
Giardini and Arsenale, Venice
www.labiennale.org
Stranieri Ovunque—Foreigners Everywhere, curated by Adriano Pedrosa for the 60th Biennale di Venezia, takes its title from a series of neon sculptures by the artist collective Claire Fontaine that depict the words “Foreigners Everywhere” in different colors and languages. The phrase comes from the Turin collective Stranieri Ovunque, which fought racism and xenophobia in Italy in the early 2000s. Stranieri Ovunque—Foreigners Everywhere focuses on artists who are themselves “foreigners” and on the production of other related subjects: the queer artist, who has moved within sexualities and genders; the outsider artist, located at the margins of the art world; as well as the indigenous artist, frequently treated as a foreigner in their own land. Work by Lauren Halsey is included.

Janus, appropriately titled after the Roman god of beginnings, is the inaugural exhibition at Palazzo Diedo, a new contemporary arts space in Venice established by Berggruen Arts & Culture. For the exhibition, curated by Mario Codognato, eleven international artists—Urs Fischer, Piero Golia, Carsten Höller, Liu We, Ibrahim Mahama, Mariko Mori, Sterling Ruby, Jim Shaw, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Aya Takano, and Lee Ufan—have conceived site-specific interventions in response to the architecture and original features of the eighteenth-century building designed by the acclaimed Venetian architect Andrea Tirali. The Polaroid Foundation has also contributed a special project that invites the participating artists to create an original work using the Polaroid 20×24, the world’s largest instant camera.

The Arch within the Arc
Through November 24, 2024
Museo di Palazzo Grimani, Venice
polomusealeveneto.beniculturali.it
Inspired by the architecture of the Museo di Palazzo Grimani and the urban dynamics of Venice, The Arch within the Arc features new paintings by Rick Lowe that emerged from his consideration of the arch in architecture. Composed with acrylic paint and paper collage on canvas, the vibrant works balance geometric motifs and improvisational techniques. Radiating outward and turning in on themselves, Lowe’s images materialize via a process of painterly construction and deconstruction that evokes infrastructure, mapping, and the experience of moving through the city. The paintings meditate on spatial, temporal, and social relationships, in keeping with the artist’s interest in linking civic practice and visual expression. Presented in collaboration with Gagosian, the exhibition opens immediately prior to the commencement of the 60th Biennale di Venezia.

Cisternerne, Frederiksbergmuseerne, Frederiksberg, Denmark

Start Again the Lament is an extensive sound installation by Taryn Simon broadcast into the subterranean urban dripstone cave of the Cisternerne. Performed by professional mourners, the work explores how people mourn individually and collectively, considering the anatomy of grief and whom we choose to guide us through it. These sonic rituals of loss and discontent—including northern Albanian, Wayuu, Greek Epirotic, and Yazidi laments—transform the exhibition space into an instrument echoing recitations with a reverberation of seventeen seconds.
