Ljubljana – This year’s Venice Biennale, which will be held between 23 April and 27 November, will promote female artists, as more than 90% of works presented there will be created by women, the newspaper Delo says in Saturday’s front-page commentary. Since female artists remain largely marginalised this is a welcome move, the paper says.

Curated by Neyran Turan and coordinated by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), the Pavilion of Turkey will present "Architecture as Measure" at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, titled "How Will We Live Together?" and will take place from May 22 to Nov. 21, 2021.

The Venice Film Festival will go ahead as scheduled at the beginning of September, Luca Zaia, the governor of the region around the Italian city said on May 24 as the spread of the new coronavirus in the country slows.

An installation by the influential artist Füsun Onur will be presented at the Pavilion of Turkey at the 59th International Art Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia, to be held between May and November 2021.

As the novel coronavirus continues to take its toll on lives and forces many countries to impose quarantines, many major events, such as the Venice Biennale and Coachella, have been postponed. 

No big event in Turkey has been postponed yet, as it has one coronavirus-positive case confirmed so far.   

Romania has a privileged place in terms of visibility at La Biennale di Venezia (Venice Biennale), Romanian Culture Minister Bogdan Gheorghiu said on Tuesday. "Here, I have two arguments. One would be the visitor inflow, which is a huge one. For instance, last year over 600,000 people visited the Arts Biennale, and two years ago, almost 300,000 persons visited the Architecture Biennale.

The Bulgarian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale was visited by over 17,200 people - our goal is to create an up-to-date image of Bulgaria in the field of contemporary visual arts, Culture Minister Boil Banov said in response to a question from BSP MP Ivan Chenchev regarding a journalistic investigation into illicit funding of the Bulgarian participation in the Venice Biennale, Focus News

The 16th Istanbul Biennial - a contemporary art exhibit held every two years since 1987 - opens on Sept. 10 with the title, "The Seventh Continent."

In the era of "fake news" and social media echo chambers, Venice's Biennale art fair is challenging preconceived biases by suggesting other ways of contextualizing modern society's biggest issues.
