The 52nd International Art Biennial in Venice, Italy takes place from June 10-November 21 2007.
The Venice exhibition is the world’s most popular,attracting the participation of hundreds of artists from all over the world and for the first time it is curated by an American art critic-Robert Storr who is the former Chief Curator at MOMA New York.The festivals title this year is “think with the senses-feel with the mind:art in the present tense”
So with the theme of present tense in mind its appropriate that the Biennial features an African Pavillion for the first time in its 112 year History.
This festival benefitted as a whole from this infusion of new energy with artists from diverse backgrounds such as Olu Oguibe (Nigeria) Odili Odita (Nigeria) and Alfredo Jaar (Santiago, Chile)
The Exhibit is the brainchild of curators Simon Njami and Fernando Alvim who sought to forge a new dialogue between contemporary artists and the art establishment by introducing the work of African artists who are very much creating “art in the present tense".La 52 edición de la Bienal Internacional de Arte de Venecia, Italia, se lleva a cabo del 10 de junio al 21 de noviembre de 2007.
Esta exposición es la más popular a nivel mundial, atrae la participación de cientos de artistas de todas partes del mundo y, por primera vez, su curador es un crítico de arte norteamericano, Robert Storr, ex Curador en Jefe del MOMA, Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York.
Este año, el título del festival es: “piensa con los sentidos y siente con la mente: arte en tiempo presente". Entonces, pensando en el tema del tiempo presente, es adecuado que la Bienal tenga un Pabellón Africano, por primera vez en sus 112 años de historia.
El festival se benefició, en conjunto, de esta inyección de nueva energía, con artistas de diferente origen como Olu Oguibe (Nigeria), Odili Odita (Nigeria) y Alfredo Jaar (Santiago, Chile).
La Exposición es idea de los curadores Simon Njami y Fernando Alvim quienes pensaron forjar un nuevo diálogo entre artistas contemporáneos y el centro artístico, introduciendo el trabajo de artistas africanos que están creando mucho “arte en el tiempo presente".

She often makes use of sculpture, video, lighting and sound to create works that illuminate our notions of personal identity and community.
