venice art biennale 2024

the venice art biennale 2024 – the 60th international art exhibition of la biennale di venezia – takes place from april 20 to november 24, 2024. the 2024 edition, is curated by adriano pedrosa under the theme foreigners everywhere (stranieri ovunque).

the title is derived from a series of works created starting in 2004 by the collective claire fontaine, born in paris and based in palermo. the works consist of neon sculptures of various colors featuring the words 'stranieri ovunque' in different languages. the expression was, in turn, taken from the name of a turin-based collective from the early 2000s that fought against racism and xenophobia in italy. the exhibition will spotlight artists from diverse backgrounds, giving space and visibility to previously marginalized groups, such as immigrants, expatriates, queer people, and indigenous individuals.
