A superb, must see documentary film by Wim Wenders - Anselm (2023) - Official Trailer, on the German contemporary artist Anselm Kiefer. Stunning. Great for learning the artist and his works.


Danh Vo Interview: Art Should Estrange - experiencing his work at the Venezia Biennale Arte 2015 Danish Pavilion may have been the first true and deep encounter with contemporary art. Continuing the research on the artist.

Other contemporary art research Berlinde De Bruyckere (Interview). And found this nice video of the actual Pierre Huyghe <Liminal> exhibition at the Punta Della Dogana.
