Suona
molto attuale il titolo della quarta Triennale del New Museum di New York, “Songs for Sabotage" in una fase di
complessità questa nuova edizione si immerge nelle criticità del cambiamento
socio-culturale del nuovo millennio.
Una
iniziativa che vuole immergersi nella realtà più che descriverla, cercando di
indagarla direttamente, sulla linea di impegno della scorsa Documenta, molto
criticata per la sua funzione più sociale che artistica.
Domani
si vedrà bene se queste istanze giungono ad una forma “estetica” o si fermano
alla lodevolo funzione culturale.
"Songs
for Sabotage" è curato da Gary Carrion-Murayari, Kraus Family Curator per il
New Museum, e Alex Gartenfeld, vice direttore fondatore e Chief Curator presso
l'Institute of Contemporary Art di Miami, con Francesca Altamura, assistente
curatoriale. Catalogo della Phaidon Press Limited.
Il

"Younger Than Jesus", curata da Massimiliano Gioni, Laura Hoptman e
Lauren Cornell. La seconda Triennale "The Ungovernables" è stata curata
