work for the Venice biennale
Director Daniel Birnbaum says the title “expresses my wish to emphasize the process of creation. A work of art represents a vision of the world and if taken seriously it can be seen as a way of making a world. The strength of the vision is not dependent on the kind or complexity of the tools brought into play. Hence all forms of artistic expression are present: installation art, video and film, sculpture, performance, painting and drawing, and a live parade.”
Two Golden Lions for Lifetime Achievement will be awarded to Yoko Ono and John Baldessari.
