“La Biennale di Venezia is one of the world’s most important forums for the dissemination and illumination of current developments in international art.

The title of the 54th International Art Exhibition, ILLUMInations, literally draws attention to the importance of such endeavours in a globalized world. As the biggest and oldest Biennale, la Biennale di Venezia has always been buoyed by an international spirit, and even more so now in an age in which artists themselves have become multifaceted, discerning migrants and cultural tourists”.

“ILLUMInations emphasizes the intuitive insight and the illumination of thought that is fostered by an encounter with art and its ability to sharpen the tools of perception .

While the last Biennale ‘Making Worlds’ highlighted constructive creativity, ILLUMInations will focus on the light’ of the illuminating experience, on the epiphanies that come with intercommunicative, intellectual comprehension.

The Age of Enlightenment also resonates in ILLUMInations, testifying to the enduring vibrancy of its legacy”.
