ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations
Bice Curiger is an art historian, critic and curator of
international exhibitions. Her curatorial activity at Kunsthaus Zurich
parallels her important work in the publishing sector. In 1984, she
cofounded the prestigious art magazine “Parkett”, of which she is
editor-in-chief. She has been publishing director of London Tate
Gallery’s magazine “Tate etc” since 2004.
The exhibition ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations will be laid out in the Central Pavilion in the Giardini and in the Arsenale, forming a single itinerary, featuring 83 artists from all over the world, including 32 young artists born after 1975, as well as 32 women artists.
The director asked four participating artists to create
“parapavilions”, architectural and sculptural structures erected in the
Giardini and the Arsenale to house the works of other artists.
