The Venice Biennale art exhibition is due to open to trade visitors around the world on Thursday.

The leading exhibition opens on Saturday and runs until November 24.

Alongside Documenta in the German city of Kassel, the Biennale is regarded as the most important presentation of contemporary art.

The German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale showcases works by Israeli artist Yael Bartana and Berlin theatre director Ersan Mondtag.

In addition to Bartana and Mondtag’s contributions to the Giardini, four other artists will exhibit on the neighbouring island of La Certosa, not far from the Lido.

It is also not far from Michael Akstaller, Nicole L’Huillier, Robert Lippok, and Jan St Werner Island.

Together, under the title ‘thresholds’, they hope to explore how thresholds, steps, and borders were dealt with.

The contributions also address the theme of the threshold as a place between affiliations and communities, based on the present as a transition in which past and future overlap.

Normally, the German contribution is limited to the pavilion building in the Giardini venue, but this year, the works will also be exhibited outside the pavilion for the first time.

It was announced on Tuesday that the Israeli pavilion will not open as planned due to political protests.

The exhibiting Israeli artist announced that she and the curators would not open until an agreement had been reached on a ceasefire in the Gaza war and the release of the hostages held by Hamas.
