Projects must respect the focus of the 56th Biennale on visual arts, but the specific theme of the exhibition has not yet been determined. The submitted projects should reflect current themes in contemporary visual arts, significant figures in the art scene, and connections to the international context. A budget of 1.5 million crowns is available for the realization of the selected project. If the proposal has a budget exceeding 1.5 million crowns, the applicant must also provide evidence of securing additional funds.
The call is intended for both Czech and foreign curators and authors. Detailed conditions, including the application, can be found on the website of the National Gallery in Prague.
The Venice Biennale is one of the most important global exhibitions of contemporary art. It was first held in 1885. In 1925, Czechoslovakia also built its pavilion in Venice. After World War II, the Biennale was restored in 1948 and has continued its uninterrupted tradition since then.
In 2013, artists from both parts of the former federation took care of the pavilion located in one of the two main spaces of the Biennale, in the gardens of Giardini di Castello. Under the title The Same Place All the Time, the project was curated by Marek Pokorný, former director of the Moravian Gallery in Brno. The basis of the installation was an archive by Slovak author Petra Feriancová, who collected various references to Venice and tried to capture all the meanings and associations Venice holds for her. Czech artist Zbyněk Baladrán then sought to express both the cultural-historical and psychological significances of the city.
Czech authors also exhibited in the exhibitions of other countries, for which curators selected them - in the Vatican exhibition, photographs by Josef Koudelka were displayed; Kateřina Šedá's work was part of the Taiwanese exhibition.
