La 56e Biennale de Venise, quand l’Angelus Novus est privé de ses ailes... [56-я Биеннале в Венеции, когда Ангелус Новус лишен крыльев...]
Аннотация
This essay on the 56th Venice Biennale examines the new role of Venice in the world, far from the idea of «Death in Venice». This Biennale is not exceptional, but the important is that there are some successful works; it’s enough. This essay examines the ability of contemporary artists to understand the older artists, and therefore their ability to understand the world in general. Despite the desire to make an expostion about All the World’s future, the impression is that the works are focused on the actuals news and problems, not on the future. Thus, the mention of Walter Benjamin’s text on the Angelus Novus (in the presentation of Okwui Enwezor) seems pretentious, because the exhibition is not as deep as this quote.
