MMeets: The White Cube (Trailer)

White Cube follows the work of Cercle d’Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise (CATPC), a plantation workers’ cooperative based on a former Unilever plantation in Lusanga, Democratic Republic of Congo. From the boardrooms of Unilever, to elite museums and galleries across the world, to the exhausted plantations of The Congo, the film documents the CATPC’s success in ending the destructive system of monoculture on their lands with a combination of art and activism. In moving viewers between the violence of the plantation system and the aesthetic ‘civility’ of the white cube, the film highlights a fundamental question: can museums ever hope to be inclusive when no reparations have yet been paid to the plantation workers who financed-and in some cases continue to finance-the very foundations of these institutions?
Join MPavilion for the Australian premiere of White Cube, the Dutch documentary by Renzo Martens that features the architecture studio behind MPavilion Monash, OMA.

this was the funniest, and one of the most critical self conscious thing I got to see at the Venice Bienale. 💟
