Moving and Art: Discovering the Slovenian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale
Hello to everyone who is part of this community!
Unfortunately, these days I am really busy because of the move that I still have to finish, so I haven't been able to share here the content that I had planned to share some time ago. If you remember, I posted about Venice because I was there for the Biennale Art Exhibition, and today I want to revisit that topic with this post, sharing with you the photos I took at the Slovenian Pavilion. It was created among the greenhouses of the Castello Gardens, which many may not know is a district of Venice.
This pavilion was built within these gardens, which were established back in 1894 to showcase plants for the international art exhibition of that time. There's a fascinating and innovative piece created by the artist Nika Span, and if I recall correctly, it was the first time the Slovenian Pavilion was hosted in a public location.
For those who haven't been to the Venice Biennale, not all pavilions are freely accessible. Some are placed in public areas and are free to visit, while others are inside the Biennale pavilions, requiring a ticket or professional accreditation to enter.
One thing that struck me about this artwork is how the artist utilized various artistic disciplines—partly painting and partly sculpture—to create this piece. Particularly noteworthy is the symbolism of barriers in this work; there are stairs to climb that represent conceptual physical barriers that can create walls within us and different perceptions among others. You can enter inside this installation by climbing the stairs and then descending into its interior.
What I liked most is how it was integrated into these gardens, which are a peaceful part of Venice. Anyone who has visited this city knows that some areas are very chaotic due to mass tourism, but if you head towards the Castello district, you'll find quieter places to relax in peace.
I hope these photos were interesting, especially for art enthusiasts. I highly recommend visiting the Biennale, as it is truly an event not to be missed. See you next time! Take care.
