The 57th International Art Exhibition entitled VIVA ARTE VIVA, organised by La Biennale di Venezia, is open to the public from 13th May to 26th November 2017, at the Giardini and the Arsenale venues.
The art exhibition unfolds over the course of nine chapters or families of artists, beginning with two introductory realms in the Central Pavilion, followed by another seven across the Arsenale through the Giardino delle Vergini.
120 are the invited artists from 51 countries; 103 of these are participating for the first time. It also includes 86 National Participations in the historic Pavilions at the Giardini, at the Arsenale and in the historic city centre of Venice.
Three countries are participating for the first time: Antigua and Barbuda, Kiribati, Nigeria.
The Serbian pavilion hosts the group show “Enclavia”, by painters Vladislav Šćepanović, Milena Dragicević and Dragan Zdravković.
The selection of works communicates the authors’ loneliness, which changes with approaching aspects of the 21st century.
