| | he Biennale di Venezia is one of the world's best-known exhibitions of modern art, with pavilions that showcase selected artists from dozens of nations. | | | During the 47th Biennale, which ran from June 15 through November 9, 1997, Venice was awash in related events such as art shows, films, dance performances, and poetry readings. | | | Less amusing works included an iron garotte at a dinner table (the garotte, now retired, was used for Spain's last execution in 1974) and a piece called "Interval" that consisted of three chairs facing a music stand with submachine guns for instruments. |

| | The artists of Venice helped to establish oil paint as a medium in artistic production, and as I strolled through the city’s ancient galleries gazing upon master works by Giovanni Bellini, Jacapo Tintoretto and Titian I was left with the impression that the city well represents the highest achievements of Western art. | | | The 51st Venice Biennale opened on June 12th, 2005, and artists, patrons, curators, collectors and the general public will view the latest in contemporary art until the festival closes in November. | | | The Venice Biennale has more resemblance to a gated community for art snobs than a true public celebration of art. |

| | Political Tension At The Venice Biennale - Forbes.com |
| | The source of the disagreements and subsequent disputes was the new Italian government's choice of leadership for the Biennale board, which is responsible for the visual art and architecture biennales, the Film Festival and the smaller biennale of dance, music and theater. | | | The English architecture critic, Deyan Sudjic, was appointed head of the architecture biennale, and the selection of the director of the visual arts came as a genuine surprise: Francesco Bonami, a young critic with enormous professional experience. | | | Urbani, who is by no means pleased to have Sgarbi as his deputy, realized he had to somehow extricate himself from the impasse in which his lack of experience in the management of power had landed him. |

| | Dhimmi Watch: Sculpture banned from the Venice Biennale |
| | As she sleeps, a guide comes by with his docile herd of visitors to the exhibition, and they stand solemnly in front of the dead-to-the-world wife, as he discusses her as one more of the art objects to be found. | | | A sculpture by German artist Gregor Schneider was banned from the 51st Venice Biennale because the event's organisers said it might be offensive to Muslims. | | | The most famous mocking of the Biennale occurs not in some ArtForum magazine, or one of those that Catherine M. (of "La vie sexuelle de..." fame) ran or runs in Paris, but rather on the silver screen. |

| | A simple one-octave song continually pierced the air: "You know...you know...this is propaganda." A woman in a red Biennale jersey, hired by artist Tino Sehgal, paced and sang; she interrupted herself from time to time to do a spoken-word rendition of label information, complete with gallery credit. | | | But unlike Harald Szeemann, who put the 1999 and 2001 Biennales together on his own, Bonami invited eleven curator colleagues to take a bit of the load off his shoulders. | | | In the Arsenale, the first exhibition we stepped into was "Clandestine," the best of the three curated by Bonami himself. |
