DYSFUNCTIONAL will take place during the start of La Biennale’s 58th International Arts Exhibition, which will be held between 11 May and 14 November 2019.

Titled May You Live in Interesting Times, La Biennale’s 2019 exhibition is curated by Ralph Rugoff, director of London’s Hayward Gallery. Of this year’s theme, Rugoff said, “At a moment when the digital dissemination of fake news and “alternative facts” is corroding political discourse and the trust on which it depends, it is worth pausing whenever possible to reassess our terms of reference.”

Diverse though the exhibition’s artworks will be, its aim is to encourage visitors to meet the reality of the world we live in today through alternative viewpoints and a renewed energy. 

During The Venice Biennale, the Ca‘d‘Oro Palazzo, an exceptional example of Venetian Gothic style, will be reinvented by Carpenters Workshop Gallery’s artists, in a unique collaboration with Lombard Odier Group.
