Russian Pavillion: shower with a view
A great touching-screen, a net-art
project, technology which links up
the users of a site with the physical
space of the Biennial:
Click I hope welcomes the visitors to
the Russian Pavilion and proposes
itself, ingenuously perhaps, as being
able to transform the first person
singular, that is, all of us, at the same
time and in dislocation, into enjoyers
of art/members of a virtual
community/active subjects of hope.
Therefore, "I hope" is the counterpoint to "I kill", which seems to find its confirmation, at least according to Julija Minler, the youngest of the artists invited by the curator Olga Sviblova, to proclaim the global media village.

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.
