Is the Venice Biennale any good? Two art critics join Ben Davis on the Art Angle Podcast to discuss the best and worst of the Venice Biennale:
Welcome to the Art Angle, a podcast from Artnet News that delves into the places where the art world meets the real world, bringing each week’s biggest story down to earth. Join us every week for an in-depth look at what matters most in museums, the art market, and much more, with input from our own writers and editors, as well as artists, curators, and other top experts in the field.At long last, the 59th Venice Biennale has officially thrown itself open to the world in Italy.
The Artnet News team was on the scene last week for the Biennale previews, with news reports from around Venice you can find on the site, including reports from the many national pavilions. But as listeners of the Art Angle will know, the big event of the Biennale is the main show, curated this year by New York-based Italian curator Cecilia Alemani, whoto talk about her vision. Now we get to see whether she pulled it off.
The show is given the dreamy title “The Milk of Dreams,” and it is full of dream-like images, references to myth and magic, beasts and cyborgs, and mystery. It is notable in being almost entirely composed of women or gender nonconforming artists.
There is a lot to talk about in this ambitious and complex Venice Biennale. To do so, we have a panel of people who were in Venice: Artnet News’s national art critic Ben Davis was joined by Emmanuel Balogan and Barbara Calderon, both of whom are writing about aspects of the 2022 Biennale for Artnet News.
