| Possible Worlds of Art Jānis Taurens, philosopher Daniel Birnbaum, the Director of the Venice Biennale 53rd International Art Exhibition entitled ‘Making Worlds', introduces his vision of art, as set out in the opening article of the catalogue, with the words: "A work of art is more than an object, more than a commodity. It represents a vision of the world, and if taken seriously must be seen as a way of making a world." |
 Making Worlds – Not Essences, Just Versions Ieva Astahovska, art critic However unique every work of art is, the "memory" of a large exhibition such as the Venice Biennale creates a "symphony" in which each work is but a heavenly sound in a greater whole. That is why this article will present an overview of the exhibition curated by Daniel Birnbaum, the director of this year's Venice Biennale. |
