Season 4 of CHANEL Connects takes you to the Venice Biennale—the world’s most influential, international exhibition of art—to meet the artists, curators and thinkers shaping culture today.
The new season of CHANEL’s flagship culture podcast features the South African painter and filmmaker William Kentridge, French-Caribbean artist Julien Creuzet, London-based gallerist Sadie Coles, Luxembourg-born actress Vicky Krieps, American designer Michael Rock and Frieze editor Andrew Durbin.
Presented by Yana Peel, Global Head of Arts and Culture, with editor Penny Martin, CHANEL Connects brings the Biennale to life and explains why it is the essential cultural event of the year. Listeners meet key players from all walks of life. Some are dear friends; others are meeting for the first time. Each will challenge your ideas about the art world and the Venice Biennale, on view through this November and not to be missed.
From Venice’s Conservatory of Music Benedetto Marcello to the grand halls of the gothic Pisani Moretta, nine episodes, released weekly from 3 July 2024, will explore the currents of culture today.
Experience the Venice Biennale with CHANEL.
Artist Arthur Jafa, winner of the Golden Lion at the 2019 Venice Biennale, connects with painter - and winner of the 2020 Rome Prize - Jennifer Packer. The conversation was led by Hans Ulrich Obrist, curator and Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries in London. They talk about what makes a work of art successful, the social, political and historical ways their work can be viewed, public and private mourning, and much more.
