Venice Biennale Art Show Gets Record Opening
The 53rd International Art Exhibition opened at the 2009 Venice Biennale yesterday (June 7th) to record visitor numbers.
Some 4,776 tickets were sold to the public ahead of the launch of the Making Worlds show, while a further 3,774 spaces were allocated to journalists during a three-day preview period.
Travellers planning stays in cheap hotels in Venice this year will be able to see the exhibition at the city's Giardini and Arsenale venues until November 22nd.
Work by around 90 artists from 77 different countries features in the expansive showcase.
Speaking earlier this year about the title of the event, exhibition director Daniel Birnbaum said: "Making Worlds expresses my wish to emphasise 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 exhibition is part of the 2009 Venice Biennale, a world-famous cultural institution that also celebrates cinema, theatre, dance, music and other art forms.
