Eccovi il comunicato stampa
Il Cda della Biennale di Venezia si è riunito venerdì 22 gennaio 2016 e, su proposta del PresidentePaolo Baratta, ha deliberato di nominare Christine Macel Direttore del Settore Arti Visive con lo specifico incarico di curare la 57. Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte del 2017.
Dopo gli studi nel campo della storia dell’arte, Christine Macel è stata conservatrice del patrimonio e ispettore della creazione artistica nella “Délégation aux Arts Plastiques” del Ministero della Cultura francese (dal 1995). Dal 2000 ricopre l’incarico di Curatore capo del Musée national d’art moderne – Centre Pompidou di Parigi, dove è responsabile del Dipartimento della “Création contemporaine et prospective” che ha creato e sviluppato. È stata curatrice del Padiglione Francese alla Biennale Arte 2013 (Anri Sala) e del Padiglione Belga alla Biennale Arte 2007 (Eric Duyckaerts).
In occasione di questa decisione, il Presidente Baratta ha dichiarato quanto segue:
“Dopo una Biennale Arte diretta da Okwui Enwezor incentrata sul tema delle fratture e delle divisioni che pervadono il mondo, e da una constatazione del tempo presente come age of anxiety, la Biennale trova in Christine Macel una curatrice protesa a valorizzare il grande ruolo che gli artisti hanno nell’inventare i loro universi e nel riverberare generosa vitalità nel mondo che viviamo. La sua esperienza al Dipartimento della “Création contemporaine et prospective” del Centre Pompidou di Parigi, la trova da tempo in un punto di osservazione quanto mai ricco di potenziale per l’individuazione di nuove energie dalle varie parti del mondo.”
Il Cda ha deliberato anche le date della 57. Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte che si terrà dal 13 maggio al 26 novembre 2017; vernice 10, 11 e 12 maggio; inaugurazione al pubblico sabato 13 maggio.
