Behind the Biennale || A Short History of the World's Most Important Art Exhibition

What would the world be like without the Venice Biennale?

 A chorus of art-world insiders and Venice locals respond with insights and stories, helping us navigate the cultural influence of this somewhat enigmatic, 120-year-old tradition.

 Produced in collaboration with UBS, and directed by Oscar Boyson, this film pulls back the curtain on the event’s reach, extending beyond art and into politics and history at large.

Sit back and enjoy.
