On the concept of his exhibition, Robert Storr declared, among other things: "This exhibition is not based on an all-inclusive ideological or theoretical proposal. It is rather founded on a fundamental approach to art aimed at presuming that analytical dichotomies between perceptual and conceptual, thought and feeling, pleasure and pain, intuition and criticality, too often obscure and deny the complex presence of all these aspects in our experience of the world, as well as the presence of all these dimensions in the resulting art."

Contemporary African art is represented in the Arsenale as a special section of the 52. International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The concept for this section was chosen out of requested proposals by a jury of experts (see press release). They opted for the exhibition project of the Angolan artist Fernando Alvin and the France based curator Simon Njami from Cameroon. Titled "Check List", the concept consists of showing selected works from the Sindika Dokolo African Collection of Contemporary Art in Luanda, which was co-founded by Alvim and currently encompasses about 500 pieces by 140 artists from 28 African countries.

策展人 Curator: Inés Katzenstein

The national Argentinean presentation will be displayed at the Ateneo Veneto's Aula Magna, which is heavily decorated with murals and a coffered ceiling, and is located near the La Fenice opera building. As much as the baroque hall is a spectacular sight, it also poses a difficult ambiance for contemporary art.

Guillermo Kuitca will face the challenge and will display new works in this tricky location. The internationally well-known artist was presented already amongst others at the Biennials of São Paulo, Istanbul, Gwangju, as well as at the Documenta (1992).

The leitmotif will be the idea of territory as a given, circumscribed space shaping us as persons and reflected in everything we do and create. But, beyond this geographical sense of the term, various other aspects will be explored such as the concept of nation, history, nature, politics, domestic space and childhood.

艺术家 Artist:

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
* 1967 Mexico-City. Lives in Montréal, Canada, and in Madrid, Spain.

策展人 Curators: Príamo Lozada, Barbara Perea

For the first time Mexico is exhibiting at the Venice Biennale with a national presentation.

Lozano-Hemmer is an electronic artist that develops interactive installations that are at the intersection of architecture and performance art. His main interest is in creating platforms for public participation, by perverting technologies such as robotics, computerized surveillance or telematic networks. Inspired by phantasmagoria, carnival and animatronics, his huge light and shadow works are "antimonuments for alien agency".

Ângela Ferreira and Jürgen Bock


艺术家 Artist:

Ângela Ferreira
* 1958 Maputo (Lourenço Marques), Mozambique. Lives in Lisbon, Portugal.

策展人 Curator: Jürgen Bock

Born in 1958 in Maputo ..., capital of Mozambique, Ângela Ferreira lived in the city until 1973, then moving to Lisbon, where she lived through the intense revolutionary period following on from 25 April 1974. In 1976 ... she moved to South Africa, studying visual arts in Cape Town. The years she spent in South Africa were decisive for the development of Ângela Ferreira's cultural conscience...

Geo-political questions are the starting point for all of Ferreira's work. They become vehicles for the investigation of the definition of "objective truths" in certain fields of art, history, and gender politics, or even for interrogating the cultural definitions of countries and their societies. . To put it in extreme terms, one might say that Ferreira uses and analyses the normative structures of Modernism to, from a two-fold perspective, African and European, question their necessity or uselessness.

"Paradise Lost" is the first contemporary show representing an international selection of Roma contemporary artists.

The exhibition showcases the visual art talents of the largest European ethnic minority. The artists embrace and transform, deny and deconstruct, oppose and analyze, challenge and overwrite the existing stereotypes in a confident intellectual manner, reinventing the Roma tradition and its elements as contemporary culture.

The archetypical motives provide a firm underlying sentiment, but the result unexpectedly suggests a new interpretation, one that is created by the Roma artists themselves. The envisioned alternative identity highlights the strengths of Roma, the capacity for fusion, the sense of glamour, humor and irony, adaptability, mobility and transnationalism.

The intention of opposing and denying the existing (mis)representations and promoting the contrary carry an irresolvable dichotomy, which embodies in art unfree from sorrowful beauty, paranoia, schizophrenia, and post traumatic syndromes.

If the terra incognita of exotic gypsies has been the target of escape since 19th century modernism for Europe, have we all lost our search for Paradise?

The Singapore showcase is themed Figments, Fictions and Fantasies. It reflects the common thread among the four artists to explore myth, imagination, illusion and altered realities in their works, which arose from their responses to the Pavilion site and the notion of the carnivalesque in Venice - the ultimate City of carnival and dreams.
