Arne Quinze: Are We The Aliens_

Quinze's large-scale site-specific sculptures on the occasion of the 60th edition of La Biennale di Venezia

On the occasion of the 60th edition of La Biennale di Venezia, Are We The Aliens_, is an immersive exhibition where diverse artistic mediums converge. It fuses large-scale site-specific sculptures by the Belgian contemporary artist Arne Quinze within an ethereal acoustic environment and soundscapes by the American music producer Swizz Beatz. It also presents for the first time Quinze's large-scale sculptures in glass and ceramic, made in collaboration with master craftsmen Berengo Studio and Atelier Vierkant.

In parallel with the theme of the Biennale di Venezia 2024, "Foreigners Every-where", Are We The Aliens_ is an invitation to contemplate our humanity and the growing alienation of our habitat. It proposes unconventional perspectives of self-perception, forging new bonds with our external environment.
