GB · International contemporary art platformThe fourteenth episode of La Biennale on Air, published on 29 October 2026, offers listeners an overview of the 70th International Festival of Contemporary Music, which took place from 10 to 24 October 2026. This episode features the artistic and musical duo Invernomuto, who discuss the work of Golden Lion recipient Keiji Haino. They focus on his installation Blissful Bun-chan, an enigmatic record of a performance in which a cat becomes an unusual channel to enter the Japanese musician’s creative universe.
The episode also includes contributions from several artists who participated in the festival: ML Buch, DJ Anderson do Paraíso, Grand River, and Joy Guidry. Their perspectives provide insight into the range of performances and artistic expressions presented during the event.
A selection of excerpts from works by five Biennale College Musica artists, whose pieces premiered at the festival, forms the episode’s soundtrack. These artists are Wyldie Bracewell, Talullah Calderwood, Lara Dâmaso, Andrea La Pietra, and alys(alys)alys. Their music offers a glimpse into the contemporary soundscape explored at the festival.
Additionally, the episode features a contribution from American sculptor, painter, and performer Nick Cave. This comes in the form of a clip from a video interview recorded during the pre-opening of Biennale Arte 2026, adding a multidisciplinary perspective to the podcast.
