About the book >.>.> To keep it short: we try to be sensitive to the spirit of the times but also firm on a number of points. First of all we are an international exhibition a complex international exhibition in which numerous exhibitions promoted by participating countries dialogue with each other and together dialogue with the international exhibition we organise in collaboration with our Curator. In turn our exhibition must be open and without any boundaries. To this end I remember how the word ‘open’ more than any other resounded in us in the early years and it characterised our choices in 1999 and 2001: to be ‘open’ to new spaces; to ‘open’ our exhibition in order to represent art as a phenomenon of humanity (the title of our first Biennale was Aperto over all the second was entitled Plateau of Humankind; these two titles became the motto for all the following editions of the Exhibition). Then as now we consider this method which was founded on our independence and that of the Curator the most effective one for making our exhibition an instrument of knowledge imperfect yet dynamic able to navigate the complexity aware of the ambivalence which lies within every phenomenon but without repudiating it through ambiguous remedies.
