Venice: the Biennale as a starting point.

The Art Biennale challenges us, unsettles us and sometimes leaves us at a loss. And yet: anyone who visits Venice solely for the art – or avoids it because of its apparent incomprehensibility – misses out on one of the most sensuous cities in the world. A plea for the lagoon city, away from the hustle and bustle.

The Art Biennale: A wonderful occasion, an enigmatic experience

Every two years, Venice transforms into the world capital of contemporary art. The Venice Biennale – founded in 1895, making it older than many a nation state – fills the Giardini and the Arsenale with installations, videos, sculptures and concepts from all over the world. Pavilions from over 80 countries, thousands of works, months of preparation.
