“Many works are new productions created specifically for this edition. This
is an important sign and proof of the great attention bestowed on the new
generations of artists. It is no coincidence that the Curator has agreed to
create the first College Arte in the Biennale’s history, which now flanks
those dedicated to Cinema, Dance, Theatre, and Music. The past few years
of the Colleges under the direct responsibility of their Artistic Directors,
aided by tutors, have been very positive.”

“It seemed difficult to achieve this also for the Biennale Arte. But three
female artists and one male artist, chosen from among the many candidates
from all over the world, see their works exhibited out of competition in the
International Exhibition, with equal pride of place as their already established
colleagues who have been selected by the Curator.

This is an important step for La Biennale di Venezia which, through the
activities of its ASAC and the establishment of an International Centre
for Research on the Contemporary Arts, is becoming an increasingly
important instrument of growth for female and male artists, further
enhancing its historical role of producing exhibitions and festivals.”

“My wish for the 59th International Art Exhibition is that we can all
immerse ourselves in the “re-enchantment of the world” that Cecilia
Kiki Kogelnik, Robots, 1966. Kiki Kogelnik
Foundation Collection. © 1966 Kiki Kogelnik evokes in her introduction. Perhaps this is a dream, which is another
Foundation. All rights reserved of the constituent elements of this Exhibition.”
