Un paio di pensieri sul padiglione ucraino.
L'opera non è originale per la Biennale: è di Pavlo Maklov e ci ha lavorato dagli anni '90.
Il progetto originario prevedeva una fontana per la città di #Kharkiv 👇

L'opera si intitola "Fountain of Exhaustion", e voleva veicolare la disillusione post-caduta del regime sovietico.
Ogni singolo elemento della fontana divide il flusso di acqua in due rivoli, così facendo togliendo forza al flusso originale. L'idea è essere metafora...

...delle energie dei singoli per il cambiamento, che non riescono a focalizzare uno scopo coerente e vengono quindi disperse (di qui l'Exhaustion del titolo).
Ora, mi vengono in mente due osservazioni. La prima è che la mia formazione non mi permette di NON notare che...

Engineering a City #thread
Having spent my entire childhood in #Kochi (#Cochin ), it feels criminal to not know the story of how the city came to be the #metropolis it is today. Putting together a thread to trace the journey of the city which has been so endearingly mine (1)
Part 1: The #Malabar Mud-Banks
The story of Cochin is not just about how an engineering marvel can change social fabric, but also of many tenets of #British #Colonialism in India which is often taken for granted, passed off lazily as exploitation, missing nuance (2)
As with any coastal town, the cultural and economic history of Kochi is intertwined with maritime trade routes since the time of the Early Romans and Arabs. Thanks to the #biennale , most of us would now be familiar with the term #Muzuris (3)

Vielleicht war der Abbau und Sturz der goldenen Erdogan-Statue, die im Rahmen der Wiesbadener #Biennale unter dem Motto „Bad News“ aufgestellt wurde, wesentlicher Teil des Kunstwerks - oder zumindest einkalkuliert. Auf jeden Fall war es seine Vollendung. Bild der umkippenden Erdoga...
Kurz vor dem Staatsbesuch, bevor die Bundesregierung Erdogan den roten Teppich ausgerollt, stellt man diese Statue mitten in die Landeshauptstadt und holt damit die Situation in der Türkei, zu der Dtl durch Waffenlieferungen und Partnerschaft mit Erdogan beigetragen hat,hier her.
Und weil die Statue Erdogans die „öffentliche Sicherheit“ gefährdet, während das Original mit militärischen Ehren empfangen wird, wird die Freiheit der Kunst eingeschränkt, der Platz von der Polizei geräumt und die Statue von Polizeiketten abgeschirmt.
