Item Number: 136578 Title: Personne et les autres : the Belgian pavilion at the 56th International art exhibition La biennale di Venezia Author: Gregos, Katerina ; Vincent Meessen (eds) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788867491360 Description: Milano: Mousse Publishing, 2015. 28cm., pbk., 156pp. illus. Exhibition held at the 56th Esposizione internazionale d'arte La Biennale di Venezia, Padiglione Belgio, Venice. Summary: The publication accompanying the Belgian Pavilion at the next Venice Biennale, Personne et les autres borrow its title from a lost play by André Frankin, a Belgian art critic affiliated with the Lettrist and Situationist Internationals. The exhibition takes the history of the Belgian Pavilion and the international context of the Biennale (both derived from the colonial exhibitions and world expositions) as its points of departure. The Belgian Pavilion itself was the first foreign Pavilion to be built in the Giardini in Venice, during the reign of King Leopold II. Meessen’s work and artistic research have consistently explored the history and afterlife of colonial modernity. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
