An announcement from La Biennale di Venezia

As a result of the Protocol of Cooperation between the Municipality of Venice and Qatar Museums, intended to enhance collaboration in the cultural and socio-economic fields, particularly in the fields of art, with the proposal to create a new national pavilion in the Napoleonic Gardens (Giardini), the President of La Biennale di Venezia has declared:
“The Venice Biennale is historically the thermometer of geopolitics. The common home of peoples called to the disciplines of contemporary arts that it is, in its places – and in the succession of a history of 130 years – the Biennale restores the exact measure of an era. The reading of the world and its transformations – where the Pavilions of the many nations present in Venice are the fresco of that precise destiny that is the future – sees in Doha, today, the artistic tension consistent with the reason proper to the Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia”.
