Baselitz pays tribute to Vedova at the Venetian pavilion
Jul-25-2007
The core of the exposition at the
Venice Pavilion is a cultural project
promoted by Regione Veneto, the
Province of Venice and the Venice
Municipality. Its aim is to give
back this exposition space to Veneto's
culture, in an international
context, conceived as a meeting
place for ideas, persons, and languages
which encounter each
other beyond the geographical
boundaries of the region.
The guiding force behind this project is Emilio Vedova, who died less than one year ago.
Vedova was the artist who indelibly impressed his own essence into Venice's Accademia di Belle Arti, influencing entire generations of students and at the same time, being constantly invited to exhibit at the Biennial, he was able to act as a bridge between Venetian humus and the world context of the event.

La Fondazione Giorgio Cini fu istituita dal Conte Vittorio Cini, in ricordo del figlio Giorgio, con lo scopo di restaurare l'Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, gravemente degradata da quasi centocinquant'anni di occupazione militare, di reinserirla nella vita di Venezia e di farne un centro internazionale di attività culturali.
La Biennale di Venezia è da oltre un secolo una delle
istituzioni culturali più prestigiose al mondo e più all'avanguardia
nella promozione delle nuove tendenze artistiche e nell’organizzazione
di manifestazioni internazionali delle arti contemporanee, secondo un
modello pluridisciplinare che ne caratterizza l'unicità.
The Biennial Art blazes with the Sindika Dokolo African Collection of Contemporary Art, from Luanda in the new African pavilion at the Arsenale.
In the Biennial designed by Robert Storr, it would be impossible not to perceive the existence of two generic groupings of artists which reflect the peculiar characteristics of contemporary art language...
Think with the senses, Feel with the
mind: art at present. A title such as
this, serving also as a theme, induces
us to think, perhaps with too much
facility, that this is such a wide proposal,
such a totalizing panorama, that
nothing could in any way remain
alien to it.
Among the main novelties at the
52nd International Art Exposition
of the Biennial of Venice, there is
the reopening, after 8 years of absence,
of the Italian Pavilion at Tese
delle Vergine dell'Arsenale.
