The Green Art Gallery is excited to announce the participation of Rossella Biscotti at the 16th Gwangju Biennale, titled 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, led by Ho Tzu Nyen with curators Che Kyongfa, Park Gahee, and Brian Kuan Wood.
Taking its title from the closing line of Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem “Archaic Torso of Apollo” (1908), the 16th edition of the Biennale focuses on intensity rather than accumulation, exploring the transformative power of art upon the human spirit. Bringing together the smallest number of artists in the Biennale’s history, this edition calls upon us to centre depth, development, and discipline in the artistic practices on view.
Rossella Biscotti’s practice engages with individual narratives and experiences in relation to society and institutional systems. Through a cross-media approach that ranges across filmmaking, performance, sculpture, and installation, she explores and reconstructs social and political moments from recent times.
The Gwangju Biennale will be open to visit from 5 September - 15 November 2026 at the Gwangju Biennale Exhibition Hall, South Korea.
