Biennale Arte – The milk of dreams
The 59th International Art Exhibition just opened up at Giardini and Arsenale in Venice. The Biennale Arte 2022 in Venice has chosen the theme – „The Milk of Dreams“. Inspired by the book title “The Milk of Dreams” by the Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (1917–2011).
”The Exhibition takes Leonora Carrington’s otherworldly creatures, along with other figures of transformation, as companions on an imaginary journey through the metamorphoses of bodies and definitions of the human.”
Here is a sneak peek of the artists displayed at the Biennale:

The curator of the exhibition, Cecilia Alemani, says to the Art Newspaper: “I wanted to use this atmosphere and this fluidity to create an exhibition that talks about metamorphosis of the body, and of the definitions of humanity”. It is an impressive amount of art that is presented: 213 artists from 58 countries; 180 of these are participating for the first time in the International Exhibition. In total there are 1433 works and objects on display – which is quite impressive.
