Fewer than ten percent of the artists showing at the Biennale in the main exhibition are men
1895, the Venice Biennale has become the premier showcase for contemporary art, securing the reputations of artists and curators alike. Alongside the national pavilions, which present a country’s chosen artist or artists, there is always a main exhibition centred around a particular theme and organised by a specially selected curator. This year that show has been assembled for the first time by an Italian woman, Cecilia Alemani.
This iteration of the Biennale was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As well as works that explore anatomies and identities, the show probes humans’ relationship with the natural world—a subject that inspired Carrington, too. One example is Delcy Morelos’s massive earth maze . When you sniff it it gives off the scent of cocoa powder and tobacco, recollections from a slave plantation.
