BERLINDE DE BRUYCKERE, ISLAND OF SAN GIORGIO MAGGIORE

a la une, Arts



CITY OF REFUGE III

Throughout her career, Berlinde De Bruyckere has crafted hybrid forms, drawing
from the rich legacy of Flemish Renaissance, Christian salvation iconography,
mythology, folklore, and contemporary events. Born in 1964, the Belgian artist
delves into a psychological landscape of pathos, tenderness, and discomfort. She
explores the complexities of love and suffering, danger and protection, life and
death, transcending theological implications. The archangel motif made its debut
in De Bruyckere’s work in 2020 when she saw “Cristo morto soretto da un angelo”
(Dead Christ Supported by an Angel) (ca. 1502-10). This symbolic figure served
as a poignant illustration of pandemic caregivers, embodying a complex figure
associated with protection and hope.



Once again, archangels emerge as central figures, their presence hovering above
us, embodying both protective guardianship and solemn indignation. Through this
juxtaposition of the profane and the divine, Berlinde De Bruyckere‘s masterpiece
constructs a pathway guiding us toward a deeper understanding of our own
connection to the divine.

The title, “City of Refuge,” is inspired by a song by Nick Cave and has roots in
the gospel song by Blind Willie Johnson.

In 2013, De Bruyckere represented Belgium at the 55th Biennale with “Kreupelhout
— Cripplewood,” a collaborative creation with Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee.

“City of Refuge I” was hosted in a 13th-century Templar Commanderie, a direct
response to the Palestinian issue. “City of Refuge II,” presented at the
Diözesanmuseum Freising, Germany, saw sculptural installations engaging in a
nuanced dialogue with history, pain, and hope, interwoven with the architecture.

In this third instalment, perfectly attuned to the thematic focus of the 2024
Biennale, Berlinde De Bruyckere‘s work seamlessly intertwines with the storied
legacy of the Palladian architecture surrounding the 16th-century Benedictine
Basilica.

As part of the exhibition at San Giorgio Maggiore, artists are invited to
interpret the choral manuscript traditionally used by monks during prayer,
prominently displayed on the Major Choir’s Badalone. De Bruyckere‘s selection of
the panel portraying St. Benedict overcoming his carnal temptations adds depth
to her exploration.
