Dalí be a ‘ghost’ haunting the Venice Biennale – The Universal

Dalí be “a ghost”, a perfume in the atmosphere of the Spanish Pavilion of the Venice Biennale , in which there will be no work hers and proposes a rereading of the Catalan artist from today.
 

 “Subjects” is the title of the project’s curator Martí Manen, who has selected three artists Francesc Ruiz, Hair / Carceller and Pepo Salazar to conduct a special project which will be displayed during the Biennale, which will open its 56th edition on 9 May.
 

 

 These artists have performed previous work for months around the figure of “ Dalí very specific”. A Dalí a public image to be free in the private context, which was built “also advertised and full of lies; it is not a friendly or nobleman Dalí, Dalí is a difficult” according Manen.
 

 

 This previous work, with sessions in Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Stockholm and Rome, allows assembly in which there will be a single work of Dali, but which will have its presence or public building your character.
 

 

 The Dalí to be presented “can generate a type of ‘ performance ‘; it is moving in the television studios, which allows a feminist writer accompany you for a week in New York who speak of everything and that gives clues about their sexuality. ”
 

 

 During the presentation today in Madrid Pavilion, the commissioner insisted he has worked at the Dalí that “unlocks changes within a dictatorship, playing with power and in its private setting surrounded himself with people who do not represent the normal” .
 

 

 Martí Manen considers Dalí not exist as a possible referent “is erased from the history of Spanish art. It is well seen from the academic point of view, despite being a direct reference to many of the things we see today.”
 

 

 Based on the foregoing, the commissioner cleared the way for artists to carry out some projects we are currently working on the Spanish Pavilion in the Giardini Venetian .
 

 

 Hair / Carceller will present a proposal around the variable identity and choice as political positioning. Helena Cabello and Ana Carceller have used the empty flag to film a “performance”.
 

 

 Francesc Ruiz uses the comic to make an approach to the emergence of gay figures in the “average” people and the creation of a way of linguistic approach to the idea of ​​the kiosk.
 

 

 While Pepo Salazar, “an overlapping layers of high and low culture” and an accumulation of materials, according to Martin Manen, make it difficult to access the pavilion questioning what is work and what is outside of work, filling content space.
 

 

 Reading Dalí be completed in the middle of the pavilion, with interviews Montserrat Aguer, director of the Center for Dalinian Studies of the Gala-Salvador Dalí; Manuel Borja-Villel, director of the Reina Sofia Museum; or Todolí Vicente, director at the Tate Modern, where exposure “; Film Dalí & amp” is presented.
 

 

 With a budget of 400,000 euros, the Spanish participation is organized by the Directorate of Cultural and Scientific Relations and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), in collaboration with Spanish Cultural Action (AC / E).
