In deze blog meer info over de Biennial of Nations waarbij ik Nederland mag vertegenwoordigen in Venetië, Italië. Het blijkt wel een heel bijzondere uitnodiging te zijn waardoor wellicht een aantal deuren geopend worden.
Een aantal weken geleden werd al bericht over het feit dat ik een officiële uitnodiging had gekregen om mee te doen aan de Biennial of Nations in Venetië, Italië.
De eerste is dat ik deze en afgelopen maand erg druk ben geweest met het regelen van de digitale expositie in de Moda Arte Design Gallery in Milaan en de afwikkelingen om Affiliate Artist van the Circle Foundation for the Arts te worden.
De tweede reden is dat ik voor deze Biennial gevraagd ben door dezelfde organisatoren als van de International Prize Andrea Mantegna en er bij mij, tot een paar dagen geleden, nog grote twijfel bestond of de prijs wel legitiem was.
De derde reden is dat de deadline voor het insturen van alle benodigdheden pas op 31 januari 2018 is.
Het vorige bericht hierover eindigde ik met “meer info volgt op een later moment”. Dat moment is nu aangebroken en van wat ik heb gelezen, is dit wel een héél erg bijzondere uitnodiging.
In het twintig pagina’s tellende PDF-document worden alle ins en outs aangegeven, waarvan hier een (relatief) korte samenvatting.
The world of art meets Venice
The Biennial of Nations is an event designed to involve many contemporary art experiences in a big world meeting. It involves painting, sculptures, graphics, photography, videoart and ceramics and is held from 16 to 19 March 2018.
The exhibition place is a prestigious artistic space in which visitors will have the opportunity to buy artwork from all over the globe.
Exclusive exhibition place
The “La Misericordia Palace” is a fluid place where history and culture interact with the territory. A highly qualified and technogically advanced place, in perfect harmony with the natural propensity to cultural exchange in Venice, is one of the most important landmarks of the metropolitan area.
A biennial representative of the whole world
The project benefits from the collaboration of industry professionals and eminent personalities of the world of culture.
The curators of the event will be Francesco Saverio Russo, Salvatore Russo and Sandro Serradifalco with the collaboration of art and publishing consultants Serena Carlino, Giacomo Cangialosi, Barbara Romeo and Rino Lucia.
The Biennial will include a few sections dedicated to landscape, figure, sculpture, watercolor, informal, photography, and video art.
For each section, contemporary foreign and national interpreters will be selected.

Het is een hele waslijst aan gegevens. Deelname kost dus wel een aardige duit, zeker wanneer voor de Platinum proposal wordt ingeschreven.
Sowieso moet ik er nog goed over nadenken of de kosten tegen de baten gaan opwegen.
