Foreword


People of different nationalities strive for dialogue and cooperation, and culture offers one of the best means of achieving a deeper understanding of each other. The 58th International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia is a spectacular and striking example of international cultural interaction and exchange. Talented artists from different parts of the world gather and lead enriching discussions, share invaluable experiences, and expand humanitarian cooperation between the world’s countries. Friendliness, mutual understanding, and a genuine interest in art are integral components of creative interaction and, as a result, the development and strengthening of interethnic cultural ties. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Biennale Arte 2019 because creativity is one of the most significant areas for any country. La Biennale di Venezia sees various international cultural projects initiated, which later develop and further prove that cooperation in the field of the arts is the most fruitful and leads to mutual understanding in all other areas of interaction. The geography of La Biennale di Venezia expands year after year, unconditionally and categorically demonstrating that culture has no boundaries. The immense professionalism of the participants at La Biennale di Venezia every year makes it the brightest and most enchanting event in the cultural life of the whole world. A variety of genres, artistic concepts, and creative solutions all comprise this colossal project of global significance. This year, at Biennale Arte 2019, Azerbaijan presents a fascinating exposition in which Azerbaijani artists use modern techniques and materials to realise and convey their ideas.
