The 52nd Exhibition also features another new initiative emblematic of the spirit with which the Biennale relates to the international art world. During the course of 2006, the Organisational Division of the Biennale di Venezia initiated a forward-looking dialogue with Art 38 Basel, documenta 12, skulptur projekte münster 07 – which, as a result of a coincidence in scheduling which happens only once every ten years, hold their inaugurations in chronological succession in June 2007 – to create a partnership that finally makes it possible to compare their respective organisational methods and to undertake joint promotional actions in areas of the world (for example the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America) in search of new audiences.

For more than a quarter-century, the dominant idea guiding economic policy in the United States and much of the globe has been that the market is unfailingly wise. So wise that the proper role for government is to steer clear and not mess with the gusher of wealth that will flow, trickling down to the every level of society, if only the market is left to do its magic.

But what about the artists who effectively harness the commercial forces of our cultural moment, which Saltz and his editors at New York find so distasteful? Their post-Warholian impact on the current artistic landscape cannot be dismissed with simplistic ethical arguments: money is bad, so art tainted by it is also bad. The fact is that there is no way to escape the market: it absorbs subversion and packages dissent, selling us an image of ourselves as conscientious objectors even when we are deeply entrenched in its system.
