VIVA ARTE VIVA – 57th Biennale di Venezia

The Exhibition is curated by Christine Macel - Chief Curator at the Musée national d’art moderne – Centre Pompidou in Paris. VIVA ARTE VIVA is an exclamation, a passionate outcry for art and the state of the artist. VIVA ARTE VIVA is a Biennale designed with artists, by artists and for artists, about the forms they propose, the questions they ask, the practices they develop and the ways of life they choose.

Rather than broaching a single theme, VIVA ARTE VIVA offers a route that moulds the artists’ works and a context that favours access and understanding, generating connections, resonance and thoughts. 120 are the invited artists from 51 countries; 103 of these are participating for the first time.

Personal Structures

“Personal Structures” is a project aimed at introducing in writing, pictures and in exhibitions, a number of international artists whom, for all their individuality, have much in common concerning their intentions. The observation that even in the most distant corners of the world and independent of one another, closely related artistic problems are being worked on, led to the idea of bringing several of these artists together. The goal is to start a communication with and among the artists, and to offer them a forum. Personal Structures is held during the Venice Biennale 2017 at the European Cultural Centre situated in four Venetian Palazzi in the city centre and is organized by the GAA Foundation, a non-profit organisation that aims to heighten the awareness about the more philosophical themes in contemporary art and to make these subjects more accessible to a wider international audience.
