Summary:
Bringing together artists from every continent, speakers and art
historians from around the globe, the Venice Biennale is a
much-anticipated event. This year, for the first time in its history,
the exposition will be curated by two women: Maria de Corral and Rosa
Martinez.With more than seven hundred illustrations, this catalogue
of the 2005 Biennale is a compendium of the world's leading
avant-garde artists and trends. It consists of three volumes, each
coinciding with the main themes of this year's Biennale:The
Experience of Art, curated by Maria de Corral in the Italian Pavilion
is classical in character and juxtaposes works of renowned artists of
the past thirty years, such as Beuys, Warhol, Basquiat, and Matta,
with contemporary artists. Rosa Martinez calls her show in the
Arsenale Always a Little Further, a reference to the comic books by
Hugo Pratt featuring the sea captain Corto Maltese, whose taste for
adventure also defines artists dedicated to exploring new frontiers.
Ms. Martinez probes worlds beyond language by contrasting
installation and video art with painting and sculpture.The third
section of the Biennale features the 2005 Participating Countries and
their pavilions. Represented are, among others, Albania, Morocco, and
Lebanon, and a sampling of artists from around the globe, such as
Gilbert & George of Great Britain, Gat Bener of Israel, and Pipilloti
Rist of Switzerland.
