Titled “Thresholds”, the contribution to the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2024 deals with history and future from the perspective of six artistic positions. “Thresholds” stands for the present as a place where no one can stay and which only exists because something was and something will be. In addition to the Pavilion at the Giardini della Biennale, the German exhibition will also take place at a second location on the island of La Certosa. By taking this outward step, the exhibition focuses on the significance of the threshold as a moment not only of temporal but also spatial transitions of nation state and territorial representations.
The artistic contribution to the German Pavilion addresses the topic of thresholds, steps, and boundaries through three scenarios. Two scenarios are developed for the German Pavilion at the Giardini, by the artist Yael Bartana and by the artist and theater director Ersan Mondtag respectively.
The Schering Stiftung supports the third scenario on the island of La Certosa. There, the artists Michael Akstaller, Nicole L’Huillier, Robert Lippok, and Jan St. Werner create a resonant space in a natural setting, which stands in contrast to the monumentality of the German Pavilion and emphasizes the idea of overcoming thresholds.
The 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia takes place in Venice from April 20 until November 24, 2024. The contribution to the German Pavilion is curated by Çağla Ilk.
