VENTURE COLLECTIVE
KUNO BIENNIAL 2025 IN TRONDHEIM 09-19 OCTOBER
By deliberately playing with associations to the start-up term Venture Capital, which evokes economic playgrounds of risk investment and speculation, we want to twist and challenge the understanding of the capitalist value system and instead emphasize a socially ventured value creation. To frame a space that faces the economic realities we are living in, the art world included, while imagining alternative and collaborative ways of venturing, seeking for an artistic and transformative responsivity towards the worldly challenges of our time. What can and should take multiple forms.
