Arne Quinze: Are We the Aliens_

Inspired by the 2024 Biennale theme ＂Foreigners Everywhere,＂ Arne Quinze and Swizz Beatz create an out-of-this-world installation of sculpture and sound

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, fusing large-scale site-specific sculptures by the Belgian contemporary artist Arne Quinze (born 1971) saturated within an ethereal acoustic environment by the American music producer Swizz Beatz. In parallel with the theme of the Biennale di Venezia 2024, ＂Foreigners Everywhere,＂ Are We the Aliens_ is an invitation to contemplate our humanity and the growing alienation of our habitat by proposing unconventional perspectives of self-perception, forging new bonds with our external environment. The book features Quinze’s new works including Sonic Levitation, Impact Glass (with pieces handcrafted by renowned glass manufacturer Berengo Studio in Murano), the video piece SIX Testimonials, Ceramorphia and the sculpture Bronze mirroring nature’s cycles and the divine harmony.
