Venice Biennale open until November

This exhibition of contemporary art, directed by Daniel Birnbaum, is not divided into sections. The title of the biennial reflects a desire to put the spotlight on the process of creation. The underlying idea is that a work of art expresses a vision of the world which, when analysed in a serious way, becomes a way of constructing the world.

The show will encompass a broad range of artistic forms – installations, video, sculpture, performance, painting and design – and present works that express the aspiration of exploring the world we live in. The Giardini (50,000 m²) and the Arsenale (38,000 m²) are the two main spaces where the biennial takes place. In the Giardini, the historic Italian Pavilion – now renamed Palazzo delle Esposizioni – offers a range of facilities in addition to exhibition spaces, including a new library, coffee-bar, and spaces for educational activities – designed by three of the participating artists.
