Deutschland<\/h2>\n

“Faust” by Anne Imhof
\n<\/strong>Curated by Susanne Pfeffer
\nAny self-respecting listicle about this year’s must-see pavilions would be remiss not to mention Anne Imhof. In addition to winning the 2017 Absolut Art Award, the German artist is also the recipient of Venice’s top prize \u2013 the Golden Lion for best national pavilion<\/a>. This came as no surprise to anyone who attended last week’s press preview, and it felt as if all of Venice was waiting in the massive queue outside of her show. Inside, Imhof’s band of Balenciaga\u00a0modelling performers, alongside a pack of Doberman pinschers, wandered about the space in a performance that references power dynamics in\u00a0today’s\u00a0tech-obsessed\u00a0society.

Scotland<\/h2>\n

“Spite Your Face” by Rachel Maclean<\/strong> \nCurated by Alchemy Film & Arts in partnership with Talbot Rice Gallery and the University of Edinburgh
\nPlaying on today’s political landscape of alternative facts and corporate greed, “Spite Your Face” is\u00a0a remake of the classic Italian tale of\u00a0Pinocchio. The film\u00a0shows\u00a0inside the dimly lit Chiesa di Santa Caterina in Cannaregio, a space that suits Maclean’s high-contrast, gilded-in-gold animation to a T. Although some scenes prove uncomfortable at times (with one particularly hard-to-watch rape scene), the 30-minute feature is well worth the trek outside of the Biennale’s main exhibition areas.<\/p>\n

\"South Image by Neven Allgeier<\/p>\n

S\u00fcdkorea<\/h2>\n

“Counterbalance: The Stone and the Mountain” by Cody Choi and Lee Wan<\/strong> \nCurated by Lee Daehyung
\nWith neon signage advertising free orgasms,\u00a0it’s hard to walk past the Korean pavilion without even a little curiosity. Though the promise is an empty one (unless…), Lee Wan’s “Proper Time”\u00a0is a must-see for sure. For his work, Wan has filled a room with 600 clocks, each adjusted to highlight the amount of time different individuals with varying professions must work before they can afford a meal in their respective locale.<\/p>\n

\"Israel Image by Neven Allgeier<\/p>\n

Israel<\/h2>\n

“Sun Stand Still” by Gal Weinstein<\/strong> \nCurated by Tami Katz-Freiman
\nGreeting visitors at this two-story pavilion is the unmistakable scent of coffee, which was used to create an installation depicting a bird’s-eye-view of the Jezreel Valley. Throughout the Biennale’s 6 month run, the installation will mould, inviting a smell that’s decidedly less pleasant to fill the space.

Tunisia<\/h2>\n

“The Absence of Paths”<\/strong> \nCurated by Lina Lazaar
\nComprising three separate issuing locations scattered across Venice, “The Absence of Paths” is an interactive performance that raises questions\u00a0surrounding human migration, national identity and the concept of a state.\u00a0Each kiosk is manned by Tunisian refugees\u00a0who issue imitation visas referred to as freesas<\/em> \u2013 a document which aims to “endorse a philosophy of universal freedom of movement without the need for arbitrary state-based sanction.”

Iceland<\/h2>\n

\u201cOut of Controll in Venice\u201d by Egill S\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsson<\/strong> \nCurated by Stefanie B\u00f6ttche
\nEgill\u00a0S\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsson has given two trolls named Ugh and B\u00f5\u00f6g\u00e2r free reign over the Icelandic pavilion. Projected on walls at a towering height of 118 feet tall, the duo invite visitors to a cup of coffee inside their\u00a0immersive world of fantasy. Located all the way on the Venetian island of Giudecca, this pavilion is\u00a0a head scratcher that’s worth visiting if only to ask yourself “wait, what?”<\/p>\n

\"Mark Image by Neven Allgeier<\/p>\n

United States of America<\/h2>\n

\u201cTomorrow is Another Day\u201d by Mark Bradford<\/strong> \nCurated by Christopher Bedford
\nTackling social justice and America’s dismal political situation, Mark Bradford primarily explores these themes through\u00a0abstract paintings and sculptures. Prior to reaching the pavilion’s exit, however, viewers are shown a video of a black man sashaying\u00a0away from the camera. This work, a re-enactment of Marilyn Monroe’s final scene in “Niagara”, serves as an exploration of\u00a0race, gender\u00a0and sexuality.<\/p>\n

\"Phyllida Image by Neven Allgeier<\/p>\n

Britain<\/h2>\n

\u201cFolly\u201d by Phyllida Barlow<\/strong> \nCurated by Harriet Cooper and Delphine Allier
\nA reference to both the ornamental, frivolous architecture element as well as the sense of\u00a0foolish, “Folly”\u00a0consists of countless\u00a0towering sculptures. In keeping with all previous works, Phyllida Barlow\u00a0has almost exclusively utilised inexpensive materials including concrete,\u00a0cardboard and fabric.
