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, fusing large-scale site-specif ic sculptures by the Belgian contemporary artist Arne Quinze saturated 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 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 the installation Sonic Levitation (an alumi num sculpture forming a circle, a symbol of perfect harmony), the Impact Glass installation (with pieces handcrafted by internationally renowned glass manufacturer Berengo Studio in Murano), the video piece SIX Testimonials (contemplating humanity’s state of alienation), Ceramorphia (a group of large-scale site-specific ceramic sculptures in collaboration with the Belgian studio Atelier Vierkant) and the horizontal bronze sculpture Bronze mirroring nature’s cycles and the divine harmony.

Starting his career in the 1980s as a graffiti artist, Quinze explores the intricate relationship of human interaction and urban complexity, in correlation with the delicate har mony inherent in the natural world.
