Vatican's Contemporary Art Ambitions Highlighted at Venice Biennale
The Vatican has opened a sound-based exhibition at the Venice Biennale, showcasing its growing interest in contemporary art. The exhibition, titled 'The Ear is the Eye of the Soul,' honors the life and legacy of Saint Hildegard of Bingen, a medieval abbess known for her contributions to music and healing. The show features 24 artists, including high-profile names like Brian Eno and FKA Twigs, and is spread across two sites in Venice. This initiative is part of the Vatican's broader efforts to engage with modern art, as evidenced by its recent opening of a contemporary art space at the Vatican and plans for future exhibitions.
