Far-right blogger Curtis Yarvin proposes 'Dissident-Right Art' display for the US Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
The application process for the US pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale has begun, with less than a year remaining until the event. However, the details of the potential pavilion and its content remain unclear.
A proposal for the US pavilion has been informally floated, and it comes from Curtis Yarvin, a far-right blogger known for inspiring a new generation of MAGA. Yarvin pitched a "dissident-right art hos" pavilion to represent the US at the Biennale. The phrase "dissident right" refers to a crowd that is avowedly anti-woke and is based in several locations across the nation, including Dimes Square.
Dimes Square, a small area in New York's Chinatown neighborhood and a sensibility, has been associated with a certain attitude: boredom with performative outrage and disdain for overbearingly earnest didacticism. The language used in the new application is strikingly different, focusing on maintaining a non-political character and representing American diplomacy.
Despite Yarvin's proposal, no vetted details about the US Pavilion application are available from the search results. The winner of a $375,000 grant from the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs will be notified by September 1.
Meanwhile, Amal Khalaf and Evelyn Simons have been appointed as co-artistic directors for the 2026 Busan Biennale with a thematic proposal titled Dissident Chorus, which explores themes like memory, empathy, healing, resistance, and solidarity through diverse artistic practices. This proposal is for the Busan Biennale, not Venice.
The US Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale is experiencing some behind-the-scenes tumult that has coincided with the start of the second Trump administration. Kathleen Ash-Milby, a cocurator of Jeffrey Gibson's US Pavilion at the 2024 Biennale, expressed concern that it might already be past the point of no return.
Ava Kofman wrote a profile about Curtis Yarvin and his ideas for the US Pavilion for the next Biennale in a recent article for the New Yorker. However, the Vanity Fair report did not provide information about Darren Beattie's, the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy, receptiveness to Yarvin's proposal.
As the application deadline for the US pavilion approaches on July 30, 2023, the uncertainty surrounding the US Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale continues. Many countries have revealed their plans for their pavilions, except for the United States, adding to the anticipation and speculation.
