At A*DESK, we wanted to begin with an  <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/An-interview-with-Marti-Manen.html\">extensive<\/a> and necessary <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/An-interview-with-Marti-Manen,3103.html\">interview with Mart\u00ed Manen<\/a>, curator of the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2015 at the hands of Manuel Segade, also a curator and critic. The conversation brought to light interesting details about the curatorial project, of this Dal\u00ed as a subject, the artists selected and the reasons behind their selection, but also touched on the dynamics of how a Biennale functions, from the inside, from the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Juan Canela with \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/All-the-world-s-futures-or-the.html\">All the world\u2019s futures or the difficulty of discerning anything<\/a>\u201d carried out an expressly transversal dissection of the content of the Biennale. We asked him for what is so often hard to do and so called for when one doesn\u2019t have enough time to let things repose, a global vision, a meditated vision, and he offered us an in depth criticism although one which accepts the limitations of its scope, bearing in mind, above all, the duration of the project that is still to take place. <\/p>\n<p>Also based on personal experience and openly countering a certain type of criticism published in the first few days of the Biennale, in a language that avoids grandiloquence, with a touch of fictional narrative, Irina Mutt leads us through a Biennale, her Biennale. One where we don\u2019t find structure so much as dead angles and undefined spaces, and as a result much freer and more independent, just like the alien she used to guide us through <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/Aliens-and-Biennales.html\">her text<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On her part Montse Badia wrote the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/THE-VENICE-BIENNALE-IN-12-NOTES.html\">Venice Biennale in 12 notes<\/a>\u201d, an interesting, almost thematic guide, with which to move conceptually through the Biennale. With no (professed) intention of being exhaustive, Badia dissects the Biennale with an infallible critical eye. The text highlights the major elements and questions that intentionally, or not, reign over this 56\u00aa edition.<\/p>\n<p>We end this month of Mondays with <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/All-the-futures-are-but-one.html\">an \u201cextra\u201d<\/a> that picks up on the title chosen by the curator Okwui Enwezor \u201cAll the world\u2019s futures\u201d and places in evidence two events experienced in the Biennale, to make one realize in a few details that maybe this future in plural is not so multiple, and that, having seen how the relations of dominance of some over others repeat over time, maybe we ought to come to terms with the fact that this future ought to be a shared one, or it won\u2019t be one at all.<\/p>\n<p>Interview by Manuel Segade with Mart\u00ed Manen (<a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/An-interview-with-Marti-Manen.html\">part 1<\/a>) and (<a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/An-interview-with-Marti-Manen,3103.html\">part 2 <\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/All-the-world-s-futures-or-the.html\">All the world\u2019s futures or the difficulty of discerning anything<\/a>, by Juan Canela<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/Aliens-and-Biennales.html\">Aliens and Biennales<\/a>, by Irina Mutt<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/THE-VENICE-BIENNALE-IN-12-NOTES.html\">The Venice Biennale in 12 notes<\/a>, by Montse Badia<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/All-the-futures-are-but-one.html\">All the futures are one and the same<\/a>, A*DESK editor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve dedicated June to one of the most recognised biennales worldwide, not just for the media coverage, but also for its content that encompasses contemporary art on a global scale&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1241,"featured_media":9178,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6783,5148],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Biennale in layers &#8211;
