Pavilion of Syrian Arab Republic at the 56th International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia

The Syrian Arab Republic Pavilion takes part to the 56th International Art Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia with the exhibition Origins of Civilization curated by Duccio Trombadori. Taking on this theme, the Syrian Arab Republic Pavilion, now presenting its fifth exhibition, confirms the premises that have characterized it from the very first show, and that is reiterates its support for the development of a dialogue between free aesthetic expressions that represent the changing, multifarious appearance of the contemporary.

In order to respond to this theme, the Pavilion presents the work of artists from Syria Narine Ali, Ehsan Alar, Fouad Dahdouh and Nassouh Zaghlouleh, Italy Aldo Damioli, Mauro Reggio and Andrea Zucchi, China Liu Shuishi, Spain Felipe Cardeña, Albania Helidon Xhixha, and Ukrain Svitlana Grebenyuk, focusing on a stylistic physiognomy that has matured in very different environmental and historical circumstances but able to overcome national boundaries.
