All Images Will Disappear, One Day : 4th Autostrada Biennale

• All Images Will Disappear, One Day 4th Autostrada Biennale 07.07 – 09.09.2023 All Images Will Disappear, One Day is an exhibition about what makes and unmakes us, what entangles and disentangles us from ourselves, about freedoms beyond choices, imaginaries that flow despite and across borders. It is an exhibition about collective autobiographies stored in cultural archives, those deep reservoirs of words, objects, patterns, feelings, or misunderstandings. It is about connecting with the unknown. What is unarchivable reminds us that all images disappear, one day, slipping into a temporal void. Yet art survives as a language of resistance and resilience, a way to validate our existence in the world, a horizon beyond imperial visual regimes. The biennale takes you on a journey around former NATO hangars, where the core of the exhibition sits, and then down into the streets of Prizren, and farther to Prishtina and Mitrovica. It starts with an artwork that first took root in 2021, which follows the sun: Agnes Denes’s Sunflower Fields (2021–ongoing). Another thirty art projects await you, asking, in their metaphorical languages: Which images do we hold on to and why? How do certain past and future memories, be it of a puppet theater, a typographer, a sacred book, an endemic flower, a blackbird, a clandestine gallery, a children’s hideout, a nomadic playground, or a destroyed museum, persistently, and somehow unconsciously, live on? How does the past stop to form the present but not the future? And how do we fail to stick to the values that supposedly unite us all?  The exhibition, in accordance with its Latin etymology, ex-hibere, is a complex process of making something hidden visible. It is an invitation to travel through a set of multifaceted, social, poetic, and ephemeral art pieces across the three cities. It is a constellation of images that will disappear and open space for the construction of life anew. Therefore, it is about staying with what is difficult, but also about letting go at the same time. The exhibition promises unpredictable encounters in and out of Prizren, the Balkans, Europe outside Europe, and the planet. And finally, it is about hope and persistence, in spite of it all.   Artists of the 4th Autostrada Biennale  Prizren  Opening: July 7–8, 2023 Agnes Denes Anna Boghiguian* Bajram Mehmeti Bella Rune Blerta Haziraj* Bouchra Khalili Dardan Zhegrova* Darinka Pop-Mitić* Hong–Kai Wang Gözde İlkin* Ivo Nikić* Kameelah Janan Rasheed Kostas Bassanos* Luchezar Boyadjiev Michael Rakowitz* Mila Panić* Nathan Gray and the Juluwarlu Group Aboriginal Corporation* Nil Yalter Neda Saeedi* Núria Güell Open Group* Oscar Lara Sebastián Díaz Morales & Ruangrupa School of Mutants*  Selma Selman Vatra Gallery* Xhevdet Xhafa  Prishtina  Opening: July 9, 2023, 13:00 p.m.  Agnes Denes Hera Büyüktaşcıyan*  Mitrovica Opening: July 9, 2023, 19:00 p.m.  Alban Muja* Rena Rädle & Vladan Jeremić* *New commissions   Curated by  Joanna Warsza  Övül Ö.
