VENICE
.- Stop Painting is an exhibition conceived by artist Peter Fischli on view at the historic palazzo of Ca Corner della Regina, Fondazione Pradas Venetian venue, from 22 May to 21 November 2021.
Described by Peter Fischli as a kaleidoscope of repudiated gestures, the project explores a series of specific ruptures within the history of painting in the last 150 years, intertwined with the emergence of new social factors and cultural values. The exhibition also projects itself into the dimensions of the present and the future. It intends to understand if a further development is taking place today and if the current digital revolution can also cause a new crisis of painting or, on the contrary, contribute to its renewal.
Frieze Editors Discuss What the Art World Has Learned in 2020
COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter were two of the major events that signalled the changes that may – and in many cases must – come next year
Andrew Durbin Let’s start broadly. Has COVID-19 changed the art world forever or just temporarily?
Pablo Larios I see three areas in which COVID-19 has accelerated permanent changes that were already underway in the art world: digitization, relocalization and funding. We’ve become much more comfortable looking at (and reviewing) exhibitions online yet there’s a renewed sense of local attention, too: intuitively, it suddenly matters more what’s going on in your own neighbourhood than an art event opening across the world you won’t see anyway.
How Manifesta 13 Speaks to the Local and the Global
This year’s edition of the nomadic biennial highlights Marseille’s vibrant art scene while simultaneously looking at historical international power relationships
The 13th edition of the nomadic biennial Manifesta, held this year in Marseille, faced some significant challenges. Originally slated to open in June, the exhibition had to be postponed until late August and was then forced to close a month early due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Despite this, the Manifesta team implemented three programmes throughout the city: the main exhibition ‘Trait d’Union.s’ (Hyphen), curated by Katerina Chuchalina, Stefan Kalmár and Alya Sebti, the educational project ‘Le Tier Programme’ and ‘Les Parallèles du Sud’, a series of collateral events initiated by local partners.
