Q&A follows with Four Arts president Philip Rylands
At the height of the Cold War, the US government wants to fight Communism with culture. In 1964, the Venice Biennale, the world’s most influential art exhibition, becomes the site of political scandal. To promote democracy, the US entry embarks on a daring plan to make Robert Rauschenberg the winner of the Grand Prize. Their efforts leave the international press crying foul and Rauschenberg questioning the politics of nationalism.
