2024 ART BIENNIAL

"PERSONAL STRUCTURES"

Venice Biennial Art exhibition 2024: “PERSONAL STRUCTURES”
20 April 2024 until 24 November 2024
 

“Delving into the challenges of global migration and the intricate web of national identities, Personal Structures emerges as a vital artistic dialogue, transcending borders and reflecting the complexities of our interconnected world.”
This is how Sara Danieli, Head of Art at ECC Italy, describes the seventh edition of Personal Structures. The biennial art exhibition, organised by the European Cultural Centre (ECC) in Venice, will welcome visitors from the 20th of April until the 24th of November, 2024 in the historical venues of Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora and Marinaressa Gardens. Press previews and openings take place on the 18th and 19th of April.
Considering the complex dynamics of our global society, Beyond Boundaries was chosen as the guiding title of Personal Structures 2024. The collective show will present itself not only as an exhibition, but also as a journey that will cross multiple boundaries – geographic, political, religious, cultural and artistic. While some physical and conceptual limits can mean comfort and safety – our own bodies, the walls of our homes, the lines on the road – the exhibition will aim to shift these constraints, to investigate what is beyond in order to see it from a different point of view.
By bringing together more than 200 artists and multidisciplinary creatives from 51 different countries, Personal Structures seeks to provide a rich tapestry of perspectives on the pressing challenges of our time. The protagonists of this year’s group show will be renowned as well as emergent international multimedia artists, photographers, sculptors, performers along with art and academic institutions and galleries, who will articulate their visions, reflections, and responses to the multifaceted aspects of today’s society.
