Making Worlds: 53rd International Art Exhibition B

The Venice Biennale is the most important contemporary art exhibition in the world. It happens every two years and this is the official catalogue. In the words of the curator: "The Venice Biennale is a new kind of challenge, but the principle remains the same: the artist's vision is at the center. How does one steer clear of the hierarchies dictated by commercial interests and fashion? As the director of an art academy, my interest has long been directed towards another kind of influence and another kind of significance. There are artists who inspire entire generations and these key artists are not always the most visible in the world of museums and fairs. I would like to explore strings of inspiration that involve several generations and to display the roots as well as the branches that grow into a future not yet defined. The geography of the art world has been expanding rapidly with new centers emerging: China, India, the Middle East... It will be my ambition to create a show that, although articulated into individual zones of intensity, remains one exhibition." Making Worlds: The 53rd International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia will include three volumes: one will be on participating countries and special events, the second will be on invited artists by the curator and the third will be a book on the process of the creation of a Biennale. The final word on contemporary art, this world-famous exhibition informs art lovers about what's hot and what will soon be hot and is a must-have for art and designers lovers.
