The Biennale, in intensive care

The article critiques the 2026 Venice Biennale, highlighting concerns over its alignment with environmental and social issues while being supported by multinational corporations. It references comments by Daniel Santoro who criticized the Biennale’s curatorial approach as complicit in systemic issues. The piece contrasts the Biennale’s stated sustainability efforts—such as using renewable energy and promoting local products—with its corporate sponsorships. The author describes the event as a 'pure and hard failure,' noting superficial installations and a lack of meaningful engagement. The article also discusses Laurie Anderson's exhibition, which was presented as reflecting contemporary instability but was perceived by the author as oppressive and reminiscent of medical imaging.
