Ho visitato molti degli eventi collaterali della Biennale di Arte. Ho scoperto molti angoli di questa città che non conoscevo, e in cui si poteva entrare solo durante la Biennale di Arte. Di questa Biennale (di questa Venezia) rimane un senso di confine, di limite, di incertezza. E di vuoto. Confini chiusi, confini che si aprono, confini che si richiudono. Limiti da passare, o già passati. Limiti da rivedere. Crisi o nuove prospettive? Venezia rimane zona di collisione. I walked a lot in Venice this summer: lot of photos, many interesting things. I visited many of the collateral events of the Biennale of Art. I discovered corners of this town I didn't know, and where you could enter only during the Biennale of Art. This Biennale (this Venice) leaves a sense of boundary, of limit, of uncertainty. And of emptiness. Closed borders, borders to be open, re-closing borders. Limits to pass, or already passed. Limits to be reviewed. Crisis or new opportunities? Venice remains a collision zone. txt: Gast Bouschet and Nadine Hilbert - Collision Zone - Louxembourg Pavilion
Europe’s fear of massive infiltration from without lies at the heart of Gast Bouschet & Nadine Hilbert’s Collision Zone, a haunted staging of image and sound recordings collected by the artists in the border regions of the Mediterranean. [...] Collision Zone fundamentally questions the notion of borders, following the observation that continents in general, and Africa in specific, are actually moving and constantly changing their respective positions. Overpowering natural and geological forces slowly but surely extend or shift the world’s physical and geographical boundaries. Gast Bouschet & Nadine Hilbert’s work thus draws its inspiration from a series of phenomena on the brink of the visible which appear to be regulating our world. By merging biological time and deep time, their installation creates a lapse of meditative time – a purposeful introspective slowdown interrupted by sporadic violent eruptions.

Il Padiglione Italia sarà parzialmente riorganizzato, riservando maggiori spazi e attività al servizio del pubblico e della formazione. Potrà inoltre operare tutto l’anno. All’interno del Padiglione Italia, nell’ “Ala Pastor”, è stata individuata la sede idonea per l’apertura al pubblico dell’Archivio Storico delle Arti Contemporanee (Asac). In questa zona saranno trasferiti l’archivio storico e l’archivio documentale, i libri, i cataloghi e i periodici, con la previsione di sale di lettura e di consultazione per i ricercatori e per i visitatori delle mostre. [en] A new project on the Italian Pavilion in the Giardini, which houses part of the international exhibitions that follow in the Arsenale, was approved by the Board of the Biennale di Venezia presided over by Paolo Baratta in its meeting on October 9. The Italian Pavilion will be partially reorganized, giving more space and activities to the public services and training. It could eventually operate all year. Inside the Italian Pavilion, in the "Ala Pastor", has been identified the appropriate site for the public access of the Historical Archive of Contemporary Arts (Asac). In this area will be transferred the historical archive and the documents archive, books, catalogs and the periodicals, with with the forecast of reading and consulting rooms for the researchers and visitors of the exhibitions.
