Description:
Petticoat Government / Pavilion of Belgium at Venice Art Biennale 2024.<br/>Official description: Cross-mixing art, curating, architecture, typography and cartography, the collective (Denicolai & Provoost, Antoinette Jattiot, Nord, Spec uloos) displaces the traditional exhibition format through its successive chapters and its fictional potential. The members of the collective are linked by long-term collaborations and their roles as intermediaries and critics inside and outside the field of art, from which they interrogate the way we view collective, popular, alternative organisations and their modes of sharing. Petticoat Government is a multidisciplinary scenario based on existing folkloric giants from various communities in Belgium, France, Spain. The performative journeys in the direction of Italy, passing through the Resia Pass on 9 March 2024 and then returning to Charleroi and Dunkirk in 2025, inject a joyful disturbance into reality using the variety of plays of scale and tensions between the human and non-human, landscape and architecture, borders and their transgression. Unlike a closed work, the Belgian Pavilion is imagined as a place of passage, with a kaleidoscope perspective. By way of the place given to orality and the co-construction of stories, and the “above ground” aerial and sound staging of the gigantic figures, it is the origin of contemporary mythologies and centuries-old stories that is interrogated.<br/><br/>Denicolai & Provoost, Antoinette Jattiot, Nord, Spec uloos: Petticoat Government / Pavilion of Belgium at Venice Art Biennale 2024. Venice (Italy), April 19, 2024.
