Venice Biennale 2024 - Austrian Pavillon

The Austrian Pavilion at the 2024 Biennale Arte in Venice, designed by Anna Jermolaewa and curated by Gabriele Spindler, will be showcasing a collection titled "Anna Jermolaewa." The exhibition will feature a blend of existing pieces alongside new works created specifically for the event, exploring a diverse range of themes from the artist's personal journey of migration to forms of peaceful resistance against authoritarian rule.
Through a variety of mediums including video, installations, illuminated sculptures, soundscapes, and live performances, Jermolaewa, a native of Leningrad (formerly USSR) who lives in Vienna since 1989, offers a profound exploration of human existence, societal dynamics, everyday occurrences, and political landscapes. Having fled the Soviet Union in 1989 amidst accusations of anti-Soviet activities, Jermolaewa's work is a testament to her astute observations and sharp reflections on the world around her. Jermolaewa's contribution to the Austrian Pavilion encompasses a wide spectrum, spanning from her personal journey of migration to expressions of nonviolent resistance against authoritarian regimes.
