The Venice Biennale recently named the 332 artists who will participate in their 2024 edition. 52% of those artists are dead. A new high, apparently. Why can’t we acknowledge more artists while they’re alive?
I really enjoyed reading this Tess. I too think about time a lot, about how fast it slips by and yet how slowly it can drag itself out, about how not to wish it away when things are difficult and also not to assume that the good times will endlessly unfold.
The toiling really is the thing though whether in obscurity or in fame both of which can of course impact the process.

Thanks for writing about this.
