The series Time Slices invites scholars from the field of exhibition history to explore and present one historical edition of the Venice Biennale, respectively. The second panel is dedicated to the Biennale of 1954. From the examples of the US-American (Hossain), the Swiss (Müller), the Czechoslovak (Wolf), the Polish (Scheller) and the Main Pavilion (Wyss), our panelists will discuss the cultural and political developments of the year 1954 as reflected by the Biennale exhibitions of that year. 1954 saw, among other things, the strange coupling of Ben Shan and Willem de Kooning in the US-American pavilion, social realism on the brink of the Khrushchev Thaw in the Polish pavilion and the appraisal of Cuno Amiet in the Swiss pavilion.
