Preview of the 54th Venice Biennale

A little over a month after the inauguration of the 54th International Art Exhibition of Venice, directed by Bice Curiger, the Italian pavilion has not yet made the "good habit". Indeed. Continues the saga of Vittorio Sgarbi, curator of the Italian section, and the neo-Minister of Culture, Giancarlo Galan, the first threatening to drop the charge if you do not get another one, the superintendent of the culture of Venice.

But if the Italian pavilion, entitled, The Art is not ours, touches on historical records and space with a mass of players - 200 intellectuals who choose 200 artists - on the increase, and has since been renamed the Biennale dei Mille, there are those who, excluded from this list still want to participate in the Biennale and for it to become a pirate.

Breaking and the prohibition of no-camping in Laguna. The Pirate Camp, entitled The Stateless Pavilion, designed and built by art collective Coniglioviola and promoted by the cultural kaninchen-haus, could easily be called the Salon des Refusés the 54th edition. But it is not. It is much more than just being the sequel to Pirate Attack Venice Biennale, the performance that Coniglioviola was brought to Venice in 2007, Pirate Camp is a space solution - a camp floating between water and land, almost a counter-overbooking provided by Sgarbi, who also put on the agenda of the probable detachment (provocative?) on a raft of home-pavilion "foreign artists living abroad." But most importantly it is a new concept which approaches the Biennale, the first resident traveling home / supports 16 international artists (deadline of the announcement May 10) during the most important artistic events worldwide, including the Venice Biennale is the "first step" .
