Venice Biennale Special – Palazzo
Nani Bernardo
Gosha Ostretsov – I’ve Been Abducted Hundreds
of Times
At Palazzo Nani Bernardo, Gosha
Ostretsov, I’ve Been Abducted Hundreds of Times, until June 30 is curated by
Simon Njami. This exhibition is a hallucination,
a heterochrony, the archaeology of the future. Using the specific world of an
artist, it presents history as a script in which components complement each
other, break up and conduct a dialogue. These components are an Italian renaissance
palazzo, relics of Soviet-era culture, archives, the interstellar flight, literature
and, of course, the plasticity of Venice hosting the best examples of
contemporary art from around the world. We have put our heads together to tell
you a story where everyone can find himself or herself, a story of all forms
and all periods in human history.
