NY Arts Pavillion Consorzio Cantieristica Minore Veneziana, will open with a gala reception to the public on Sunday June 7, 3 to 5 pm. With eight international curators working with a dozen different countries, the exhibition will feature works by over 100 artists and includes new works and on-site commissions in all disciplines dynamically executed on paper. The curators include L. Brandon Krall, Basak Malone and Tchera Niyego from New York, Agustina O'Farrell from Buenos Aires, Cosimo Di Leo Ricatto from Amsterdam, and Stefano Pasquini from Italy. Echoing the ideologies of the 53rd Binnale di Venezia, the NY Arts Pavillion emphasizes the process of creation and discovery. Marked by local and global relationships, aesthetics, and practices the NY Arts Pavilion comments on visual culture in a wider context, than the traditional art fair exhibition.

The location of the exhibition on the historic island of Giudecca will transform the island itself, into a visual art and media nexus for a full 5 months. In conjunction with several Internet projects, the exhibit will offer writers and viewers the chance to submit essays and comments on the nature and significance of biennials, fairs and public exposure for new and emerging artists. Works On Paper, A Global Perspective, echoes the position of the majority of artists featured, as they constantly work to respond and adapt to changing social and political conditions of the contemporary world.

At the end of the year The NY ARTS Venice exhibition will travel to China and be shown at Arts Space Beijing (nyartsbeijing.cn) for the duration of one month.
