53rd Venice Biennale. "Victory over the future. Tales of Italy

[Vladimir]

... I have since 1996, travel to Venice and the first time in my practice for the first time this year at the opening of the Russian pavilion was the minister. As a private initiative, not important. Came, opened the pavilion - and the glory of God. Previously, came at the best department head for something there. Case a state.

... Russian pavilion has become a representation of artists. What's happening? Should have seen how artists run after by collectors and show their own work. Should have seen how working artists, when the pavilion comes Roman Abramovich - that's really a shameful spectacle. Perceive this as an opportunity capitalization own art, then to a higher price to sell it.
