Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, the ground on which the theme of the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, takes shape is marked by conceptual traces linked to the idea of diversity in its various meanings. In the contemporary globalized society, where individuals constantly travel, anyone can consider themselves a foreigner in their own world. Historical events only highlight the distinction among humans, pushing the global community into profound states of crisis; in reality, we are nothing more than children of the same cosmos.
«The expression Stranieri Ovunque – explains Adriano Pedrosa – has several meanings. First of all, that wherever you go and wherever you are you will always encounter foreigners—they/we are everywhere. Secondly, that no matter where you find yourself, you are always truly, and deep down inside, a foreigner.»
“The Land of Silence” is an immersive journey into uncharted territories of contemporary art, where the boundaries between expression and introspection blur, inviting viewers to explore the profound resonance of silence. This exhibition is a poignant exploration of the power and depth found in the absence of sound, a realm where visual language and artistic interpretation converge.
In a world inundated with noise, propaganda, and constant chatter, “The Land of Silence” becomes a sanctuary, an oasis for contemplation and reflection. Through various mediums and artistic perspectives, the artists delve into the vast spectrum of silence, illuminating its nuanced facets and evoking a broad range of emotions.
The exhibition seeks to challenge conventional perceptions, prompting a reconsideration of silence as more than simply the absence of noise. Artists draw inspiration from the serene landscapes of silence, discovering beauty in its tranquility and the potential for profound meaning in its emptiness.
Thematic elements of the exhibition are not confined to literal interpretations but extend to metaphorical and abstract realms, fostering a rich tapestry of artistic expression. Visitors will encounter thought-provoking installations, avant-garde sculptures, evocative paintings, and innovative multimedia presentations, all meticulously curated to weave together a cohesive narrative.
“The Land of Silence” is a collective conversation between artists and spectators, a shared exploration of the unheard and the invisible. It invites participants to step into a realm where silence is not merely an absence but a presence of a thousand voices, an entity capable of communicating on a profound level.
As attendees navigate through the curated spaces, they will experience the transformative potential of silence, transcending the limitations of verbal communication and immersing themselves in a multisensorial experience. “The Land of Silence” encourages viewers to engage in a dialogue with their own interpretations, fostering a personal connection with the artworks and the unspoken stories they tell.
The project is a testament to the diversity and depth of artistic expression, demonstrating that silence can be a canvas upon which a myriad of emotions, thoughts, and narratives are laid out. “The Land of Silence” invites participants to embrace silence, listen to the whispers of the artworks, and discover the profound beauty in the unexplored territories of silence.
