Exhibitions

During the 58th Venice Biennale, Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen heralded the birth of the Human Rights Pavilion, an evolving artwork that will take shape over the course of two years, as it travels the world, visiting almost every continent on earth. In 2021, Vanmechelen will present his completed OPUS at the next Venice Biennale, as an appeal to the world, and possibly as the start of a recurring international human rights pavilion.

An extensive review over more than sixty-five works by the artist Koen Vanmechelen: sculptures, paintings, neon, lambda prints and installations set up outside and in the three floors of the Teatro dell’architettura Mendrisio, the new campus building designed by architect Mario Botta. Curated by Didi Bozzini.
