The art world's every-other-year Olympics is officially underway. Why even His Holiness is getting in on the action this go round.
“Even if this show sucks, it won’t, because of the space,” said Massimilliano Gioni, the artistic director of the New Museum, who cocurated the show and has worked with Salamé for years. We were at lunch in Rome before the grand opening. Salamé ordered for the table without a menu, hours before the show—which in due time we would see does not suck. “This is the first time I’ve been clean-shaven since COVID,” Salamé said. “And I think it’s the first time I’ve worn a suit too.
In 2019, the Biennale had no dead artists in the curated sector. In 2022, curator Cecilia Alemani included throughout the show what she called “time capsules” to explain the history of surrealism, appropriately relying on dead artists to tell that story. But Pedrosa has put together an exhibition in which just 35% of the artists are still alive. And yet, there was enough positive buzz on Tuesday to carry the attendees through the first preview.
