The 52nd International Art Exhibition (10 June - 21 November 2007) is curated by Robert Storr. The main international exhibition, set up in the Arsenale Corderie and Artiglierie and in the Padiglione Italia at the Giardini, will present about a hundred artists from all over the world.
The international landscape is enriched by the exhibitions of 77 countries (a record number set by this edition) displaying works in the historical city centre. Since 2006, the Arsenale has been the permanent seat of the new Italian Pavilion, making its debut this year with an exhibition curated by Ida Giannelli and representing one of the main novelties in the 52nd Exhibition.
