An Enlightening Biennial – Text by Vittoria Biasi
The first press conference made official the guidelines for the 54th International Art Exhibition, grouping the shows in such a model as to create some expositive mainstays, as per the definition given by Mr. Paolo Baratta President of the Biennial Exhibition in Venice.
The first mainstay is composed of those countries attending permanently the Exhibition (a total of 28 Pavillons and 30 regular countries). Spaces are added inside the dockyard or around Venice. The countries that have confirmed the participation are 88 and if Japan will participate we will be excited to pay a visit to Tabaimo’s works (his real name is Ayako Tabata).
The second mainstay is composed of the Biennial Curator Bice Curiger’s International Exhibition. In the exhibition, for the first time, she brings a path of light made around a philological study including the contemporary languages.
The third mainstay is the Italian Pavillon attended by Mr. Vittorio Sgarbi who made the Biennial eyes open upon the real world of the Italian artists which live abroad and giving prominence to those Educational Institutions representing the cultural survey abroad, to the non profit and other institutions, Academies, Universities and schools involved in an artistic-creative programme. The Biennial is intended as a centre and a chance of active participation to the passing of the exhibition months.
Within the Biennial and its collateral events and beyond the possible visual tours, for me the very first pathway of conjunction is the ILLUMInations International Exhibition and two other expositions.
Bice Curiger through ILLUMInations privileges the artists who have sharpened their own mind or have had a hunch “about the light produced by the encounter with the art, about the illuminating experience, about the epiphanies resulting from mutual connections and from cerebral appreciation”. The curatorial project contains, pursues the aims to create a participatory attendance of the people, suggesting a philological path about the poetic revelation of the light.

Una biennale ‘Illuminante’ – Testo di Vittoria Biasi
La prima conferenza stampa ha ufficializzato le direttive della 54° Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte raggruppando le mostre in uno schema che procede nella creazione di pilastri espositivi, come li ha definiti il Presidente della Biennale di Venezia, Paolo Baratta.
Il primo è costituito dai Padiglioni dei Paesi che partecipano in modo permanente (28 con 30 Paesi titolari). Si aggiungono spazi all’interno dell’Arsenale o in luoghi di Venezia. I Paesi che hanno confermato l’adesione sono 88 e se il Giappone potrà essere presente con animo emozionato visiteremo l’opera di Tabaimo (vero nome Ayako Tabata).
Il secondo pilastro è costituito dalla mostra internazionale del curatore della Biennale Bice Curiger. Il curatore ha il pregio di portare per la prima volta in Biennale un percorso di luce, costruito attorno ad una ricerca filologica fino ai linguaggi contemporanei.
Il Terzo pilastro è costituito dal Padiglione Italia a cura del prof. Vittorio Sgarbi, che ha aperto lo sguardo della Biennale su realtà di artisti italiani che vivono all’estero, dando rilevanza agli Istituti di Cultura che rappresentano il panorama culturale all’estero, alle istituzioni no profit, agli Istituti, alle Accademie e Università, coinvolte nel discorso artistico – creativo. La Biennale si propone come un polo, un’occasione di partecipazione attiva che deve attraversare i mesi espositivi.
