MARIA ROOSEN 👏
mariaroosen
Maria Roosen was born in 1957 in Oisterwijk, The Netherlands, and lives and works in Arnhem. Roosen’s art encompasses watercolors, textiles, sculptures and installations. She has gained international recognition for her unique use of blown glass that makes the material appear soft and tactile.
“Because the world is bad enough as it is. Because sometimes things may not be as bad as they seem. Softness can be as meaningful as what is pointed or jagged. Love is a powerful force and as true as aggression and destruction.”
-Maria Roosen
Maria Roosen calls herself “an artist with green fingers”—fittingly, her sculptures and installations feature imagery that references both plant and human organs, often in conjunction. Though her practice incorporates wool, wood, and sometimes watercolor, Roosen is best known for her ability to manipulate hand-blown glass. She creates a playful irony in the contrast between the material’s hardness and the fluidity and voluptuousness of the shapes she creates with it. Roosen refers to her practice as an exploration of “that which is impossible of reality,” conjoining contrary, exaggerated forms as in her iconic works Breastberries (2009) and Curtain (2010).

Pilar Corrias is delighted to announce that Koo Jeong A will represent South Korea at the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia in 2024.
Known for their site-specific works that reinvent architectural space and conjure subjective memories through invisible elements such as scent, sound and temperature, Koo will be the principal artist exhibiting in the country`s pavilion. Titled ODORAMA CITIES and co-curated by Jacob Fabricius and Lee Seol-hui, the pavilion`s cylindrical steel building will be transformed into an immersive, scent-centric environment. Pieces with distinct aromas that represent Korea`s different cities will be installed throughout the structure to take the visitors on a ‘Korean scent journey’.

Some things I enjoyed in Venice 1. Charline von Heyl at the Giardini 2. Francis Alys Belgian pavilion 3. Amy Sillman at the Giardini 4. Claire Tabouret 5. Morandi at the Museum of Modern Art 6. Renato Birolli (I think the one thing that stood out more than anything else!) also at the Museum of Modern Art 7. Noah Davis at the Arsenale 8. Zinaida’s incredible film installation “Without Women” at the Ukraine pavilion (the other stand out experience) 9. Jadé Fadojutimi at the Giardini 10. Afro at the Museum of Modern Art A feast of a few days, so much to see, loved ‘getting lost’ in the labyrinth of alleys with rachael.causer and scarlettwardart grazing on brilliant food and stopping for well deserved spritz! There were other things I liked….the German pavilion was great, the Danish spookily atmospheric and I enjoyed the Parasol show but rather a lot of maximalist ‘theme park’ aesthetic in a lot of the rest, especially at the Arsenals #venicebiennale2022 #venice #venicebiennale #art #arttrip #mostlypainting

Adriano Pedrosa, one of the most celebrated curators working today, will organize the 2024 edition of the Venice Biennale.
The appointment will make him the first Latin American to curate the world’s biggest art festival.
At the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, where he serves as artistic director, Pedrosa has demonstrated a knack for rewriting art history in surprising and refreshing ways.
While many curators have that goal today, few have actually succeeded in doing so, and for that reason, Pedrosa’s shows, with their emphasis on queer, feminist, and decolonial perspectives, have acted as a guide to many.

Art and Architecture No: 114
Vatican Chapels Pavilion of the Holy See
Location: Venice Architecture Biennale, San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice
Year: 2018
⠀
Expectations ran high for the Vatican’s debut at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale. And call it divine intervention or curatorial genius, but ‘Vatican Chapels Pavilion of the Holy See’ undoubtedly stole the show, proving to be the most talked about project of the opening week. Its tranquil location away from the madding crowds helped. Laid out among the woodland of San Giorgio Maggiore Island, it felt like a pilgrimage of sorts, a voyage of discovery with a multiplicity of offerings evoking a mini-Giardini of its own – but a garden united in its devotion to simplicity, contemplation and prayer rather than the grandiose gestures of competing national pavilions. Curated by Professor Francesco Dal Co, Italian architecture historian and editor of Casabella magazine, the project consists of ten pavilions by ten different practices from across the globe with whom Dal Co has paired a variety of manufacturers to produce radically different designs. Chapels on this post designed for the Biennale are by:
⠀
1. Terunobu Fujimori
2. Eduardo Souto de Moura
3. Sir Norman Foster
4. Gunnar Asplund
5. Carla Juaçaba
6. Sean Godsell

❓How do you like the design of the Vatican Chapels? Which one is your favorite?

Just announced! This October the Venice Biennale will present the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement to Brian Eno. As part of the celebration brendandawes and I will present "Nothing Can Ever Be The Same", a 168-hour video art installation inside the Arsenale in Venice. The piece uses generative software we`ve developed to reimagine Eno’s music, art, new footage and archival material into a vast collage of sounds and images. It`s an immersive cinematic experience that goes on forever (or in this version, for one week) and never repeats itself.
"Nothing Can Ever Be The Same" will run from October 22nd to 29th. More info as it gets closer! There will be different iterations of this piece shown in other cities as well, TBA.
And more news on my forthcoming documentary film "Eno" coming soon...
