2021 Venice Biennial postponed to 2022
On May 18th la Biennale di Venezia announced the postponement of both the 59th International Art Biennale and 17th International Architecture Biennale, “due to the persistence of a series of objective difficulties caused by the effects by the health emergency underway,” stated the press release by the Biennale.
The 59th International Art Exhibition, curated by Cecilia Alemani, which was to take place in 2021, has been postponed to 2022. It will last 7 months and will be held from Saturday, April 23rd to Sunday, November 27th.
The 17th edition of the International Architecture Exhibition, How Will We Live Together? – curated by Hashim Sarkis, which was to take place in Venice from August 29th through November 29th 2020, has been postponed to 2021, to be held Saturday, May 22nd to Sunday, November 21st.
“The last few days – declared President Roberto Cicutto – have clarified the real state of the situation we are all facing. With the utmost respect for the work done by all of us, the investments made by the Participants, and considering the difficulties that all countries, institutions, universities, architectural studios have met together with the uncertainty of the shipments, personal travel restraints and Covid-19 protective measures that are being and will be adopted, we have decided to listen to those, the majority, who requested that the Biennale Architettura be postponed. I have received many messages asking for a postponement to 2021.
We now plan to open the 17th International Architecture Exhibition in May 2021 and allow it a longer life until November, as it was before the pandemic. Nevertheless Architecture will be in Venice this Fall organizing several events keeping at the center of the stage the question, more relevant than ever, of How will we live together?”
