The Venice Biennale is making a significant change, removing Tobias Rehberger’s acclaimed «Cafeteria» installation. This popular, award-winning Op-Art piece, which earned Rehberger the prestigious Golden Lion in 2009, is being replaced by a stark, dark space. The decision to dismantle such a celebrated and vibrant work, transforming the main pavilion, has quickly become a symbol, prompting discussions about a potential shift in Italy’s contemporary cultural landscape and artistic preferences.
