Andres Serrano proposes Donald Trump mausoleum for US pavilion at the Venice Biennale
""I can think of no one better to represent America than the president himself," Serrano says in a statement."
""I'm not a judge of anything, only an observer," the artist tells The Art Newspaper."
""Politics are everywhere, even on the kitchen table. There's a fine line between politics and entertainment. The media is happy to give us both in the same breath.""
"Serrano plans to install his project as a mausoleum, as if presenting a snapshot of a bygone era."
Andres Serrano began collecting Trump-related items in 2019, spending over $200,000 to create a multimedia portrait titled The Game: All Things Trump. He proposes this work for the US pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale, coinciding with the US independence anniversary. Serrano emphasizes his project is neither a celebration nor a condemnation of Trump, stating his role as an observer of democracy. His plans include presenting the project as a mausoleum, representing Trump's presidency, and include the film Insurrection depicting January 6 riots.
