COMMERCIAL BREAK
Garage Projects, 54th Venice Biennale

June 1 - June 5, 2011


For our second project in Venice, we are presenting the mobile installation Commercial Break from 1 to 5 June 2011 as part of the opening week of the 54th Venice Biennale.

On a giant mobile video screen, which will sail through the center of Venice, over eighty artists engage with the relationship between advertising and culture. The short digital works by globally recognized and emerging artists from around the world will bring the form and language of advertising to Venice. The project is curated by Neville Wakefield and powered by POST magazine. Since the early days of Pop – think Lichtenstein, Ruscha and Warhol - art has drawn direct influence from the language of advertising in the creation of hybrid collisions of high and low cultural forms. Nowhere are these collisions more evident than in the city of Venice, host to one of the most well-established and oldest Biennale in the world. Steeped in history and tourism, it is a city of contradictions, a place where every two years art and the traditions of the past play host to the provocations of the present. Venice is a city of commerce without commercials – a place that advertises only itself.

Commercial Break is both an intervention with the architecture of the city and an iPad application created by POST, the world’s first magazine created specifically for the iPad. The special art issue will allow readers to explore individual artists and films for the 5 months of the Biennale as well as on location in Venice.
