  Venice Biennale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1930, control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government.
After a six-year break during World War II, the Biennale was resumed in 1948 with renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European, and later worldwide, movements in contemporary art.
The protests of 1968 marked a crisis for the Biennale; the Grand Prizes were abandoned and more emphasis went to thematic exhibitions instead of monographic ones.

 Biennale Of Sydney 2002 - 1973-1998
The Biennale of Sydney outreach program, which began in the first decade of the exhibition, has consistently fulfilled one of the longstanding aims of the organisation, that is to increase dialogue, interest and participation in the visual arts and to foster new relationships and professional networks.
The Biennale of Sydney has established a reputation for being selected by curators who exercise great control and who are given freedom by the governing body and the institutions in which the exhibition is exhibited.
I do think the Biennale has had a major impact on the community as it has enabled people to see work that otherwise they would not; it has helped develop an understanding of what is happening around the world in every arena from painting to new technologies.

And this is why the 2000 Shanghai Biennale is particularly important: it is the beginning of a cultural interchange between China and the West.
Restany suggested that the biennale indicates a careful compromise by the Communists, as does most of Shanghai (a city in love with consumerism, I was surprised to learn), and that the 'level of culture that you find here reflects this ambiguity'.
The Shanghai Biennale 2000 may not be remembered in years to come as the best exhibition in the world, but it will be remembered as one of the most important.

 BIENNALE FLORENCE Contemporary Art by Raichel Le Goff
So although the Biennale is being touted as a revolutionary change to the artistic life of Florence which is inextricably bound to perpetuating the glories of the Renaissance, the art selected strongly reflects traditions inherited from the past.

The Venice Biennale is the art world’s UN — faintly out of date, yet still containing the naive possibility of hope for the future despite the pull of money, power and the pressing need to move on to Basel and air-conditioning.
The Biennale is fundamentally European: it does not care about the neo-Punk Goth strain of young New York art, the fact that 50 per cent of Americans did not vote for Bush, or identity politics.
As a visitor to the Biennale, you can easily remain oblivious to the city’s contraction into an overpriced pastiche of itself, predicted to be empty of locals by 2030, if things go on at this rate (the population is already down to 55,000).

 Venice Biennale: Art dances with politics
It was parching heat and an almost unbearable humidity that invaded Venice this summer: but nothing could hold back the crème de la crème of the world's artistic community at their bi-annual gathering in the enchanting and serene city of canals and gondolas.
This year, with the Biennale celebrating its 50th year, organizers optimistically touted the event as the 'Mecca of all exhibitions.' However, notwithstanding the glitzy opening in June, this year critics remained reserved, and the feeling in Venice was that even with all the hype, they had been over-sold.
The Venice Biennale, the largest contemporary art exhibition in the world, officially opened its doors June 12, under the theme 'Dreams and Conflicts: The Dictatorship of the Viewer.' The current director of the biennale, Francesco Bonami, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary, looked to creativity to illustrate the absurdity of war, violence and discrimination.

Biennale realized with the support of the Culture Committee of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
With all the international consensus and expertise backing the biennial’s imported product (and the global biennial itself as a format for representing an international today), it would be too much to say that the function of contemporary art was contested or seriously cast in doubt here.
Most intriguing of all was how the biennial managed to momentarily unhinge the image of the contemporary from itself, causing it to split and mimic itself from one exhibition to the next.
