An alluring invitation just arrived from Italy. The occasion is the Venice Biennale’s granting of a Golden Lion award, perhaps the most acclaimed honor the art world has to bestow, to Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, on June 27.
It was wonderful to see Judson Church pioneer Steve Paxton honored in a similar way last year, during our visit to Venice.
A retrospective of de Keersmaeker’s work will take place in Los Angeles in November at the Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA.
