Russian Pavilion at the 57th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia; Theatrum Orbis by Grisha Bruskin, Recycle art group and Sasha Pirogova. Giardini, Venice
Theatrum Orbis, a new exhibition conceived and created for the Russian Pavilion at the 57th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, features artists Grisha Bruskin, Recycle Group and Sasha Pirogova alongside contemporary Russian composers.
The exhibition title – translated as Theatre of the World – takes its name from Abraham Ortelius’ atlas published in Antwerp in 1570. Marking an epoch in the history of cartography, it was the first modern atlas to combine knowledge with experience, in the fields of science and culture which accumulated during the Age of Discovery.
Theatrical in its concept and form, the exhibition includes sculpture, installation, video and sound across three emotionally connected parts. Visitors follow a narrative throughout the pavilion, first encountering Bruskin’s installation of figurative white sculptures; then, on descending the stairs and passing through a labyrinth, further rooms contain works by Recycle Group and Pirogova. While Bruskin represents a long-established generation of Russian artists, Recycle Group and Pirogova come from a new post-digital era engaged with technology.
Music and sound play a very important role in the exhibition, with specially written scores by Dimitri Kourdlianski, Peter Aidu and Konstantin Dudakov-Kashuro. For the first time sound is not constrained by the walls of the pavilion, but is taken out into the Giardini, establishing a dialogue with the viewer through Dmitri Kourliandski’s sound performance Commedia delle arti.
