This lecture will take us in space and time through the main contemporary art forum, the Venice Biennale. Every two years guest curators treat the international audiences to their own “cross-section of the world.” On the example of prominent projects starting from 2011 and up to now, we will explore the human image and its current ranking in the work of curators and in the imagination of artists. We will also try to establish why it is worth setting your “outlook clock” against the major arts exhibitions.

It is believed that art can touch upon things that are invisible or unspoken, engage a wide range of people in dialogue by analysing different experiences. One of such perspectives is represented by the artists with Down Syndrome, such as the Atelier Normalno community members. For some of them, video became a tool of emancipation. They use the aesthetics of advertising, television and cinema to create moving images art that is a sharp reaction to everyday topics. During the discussion, artist and co-curator of the Atelier Normalno Stanislav Turina and cinema historian and director Stanislav Menzelevskyi will reflect on how artists with disabilities convey modernity, what characters and issues they choose to convey their feelings, how inclusion can be present in culture and the role that video as an artistic instrument plays in it.
