The Venice Art Biennale 2024 is soon to close its doors, but there's still time to catch the highlghts. The central exhibition at this edition is called ‘Foreigners Everywhere’, a theme that is intended to unify what is essentially a national competition and to highlight indigenous artists whose presence, until recently, has been lacking on the international stage. At the Luxembourg Pavilion, artist collective Every Island, curated by Joel Valabrega, embraced this theme in their exhibition, ‘A Comparative Dialogue Act’ as they set up a stage that could be used by a roster of artists throughout the six months the biennale is open.
Brussels-based Every Island, founded in 2021, comprises Alessandro Cugola, Caterina Malavolti, Damir Draganic, Juliane Seehawer and Martina Genovesi. Here, they collaborated with artist and multidisciplinary artist Andrea Mancini to create a framework for performance artists to use during the exhibition.
