Artistic Resurrection

30.05.2013 | Art , Blog | BY:

A legendary art event of the past comes back to life in the new When Attitudes Become Form: Bern 1969/Venice 2013 exhibition. Presented by Fondazione Prada and curated by Germano Celant in collaboration with Thomas Demand and Rem Koolhaas, the show reconstructs the legendary Live in Your Head. When Attitudes Become Form exhibit by Harald Szeemann at the Bern Kunsthalle in 1969, which paved a then radical approach to the practice of exhibition curation.

Described as “a literal and radical superposition of spaces that produces new and unexpected relationships between the artworks themselves and between the artworks and the space they occupy”, the exhibition features the work of artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Eva Hesse and Joseph Beuys, as well as original materials from the development of the 1969 show, offering something for both art history buffs and newcomers alike.

When Attitudes Become Form: Bern 1969/Venice 2013 exhibits at Calle de Ca’ Corner, Santa Croce 2215, Venice from  June 1 until November 3.
