press release
THE 52ND INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION
The 52nd International Art Exhibition will take place from June 10 to November 21, 2007. The exhibition venues are the Italian Pavilion and the national pavilions at the Giardini, as well as the Corderie, the Artiglierie and other venues at the Arsenale. Countries that do not own a pavilion and institutions that organise collateral events are exhibited in other venues in Venice.
Ida Gianelli, Director of the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, is to be the first curator of the new Italian Pavilion for the 2007 International Art Exhibition of the Biennale di Venezia, which will be located in the Tese delle Vergini at the Arsenale.
The nomination was decided by the new Coordination Committee between the Biennale di Venezia, presided by Davide Croff, and the DARC (the Directorate General for Architecture and Contemporary Art of the Ministry for the Cultural Heritage and Activities) directed by Pio Baldi.
Biennale and DARC have signed an agreement, presented in Venice on June 10, 2005, at the press conference for the inauguration of the 51st International Art Exhibition, to develop, each within his own sphere of competence, any shared initiative that may be useful to support and to showcase contemporary Italian art and architecture within the international context.
The Committee's first initiative concerns the Italian institutional participation in the next art and architecture exhibitions of the Biennale di Venezia, and in particular the creation of the Italian Pavilion as previously announced at the press conference in Rome presenting the 51st International Art Exhibition.
