The 50th Venice International Art Exhibition

The Biennale di Venezia presents the 50th International Art Exhibition, directed by Francesco Bonami. Under the main theme "Dreams and Conflicts - The Viewer's Dictatorship", an artistic director Francesco Bonami presents the International Show of the 50th Venice Biennial as an "exhibition of exhibitions". To achieve this, the exhibition is composed of different projects. Each project has its own identity and autonomy. Additional "links" projects are included to enrich the Art Exhibition this year. As well, the Biennale di Venezia also is present outside the borders of the city.

The exhibition opens to public from June 15 to November 2, 2003. For more information, please visit the biennial official website at
