Strangers Everywhere : the title of this year's Venice Biennale is more evocative than ever. For Adriano Pedrosa, the curator of the exhibition which can be visited from 20 April to 24 November 2024 between the Gardens and the Arsenale, there could not be a better way to describe the current world , "full of multifaceted crises that concern the movement and existence of people within countries, nations, territories and borders, expressing differences and disparities conditioned by identity, citizenship, race, gender, sexuality, freedom and wealth". There are many national participations, as many collateral exhibitions that start at the same time as the Biennale; Harper's Bazaar has chosen some of the best in the city , during the opening period of the Biennale.

Jim Dine. Dog on the Forge , Palazzo Rocca Contarini Corfu

Jim Dine, master of stars and stripes neo-Dada, arrives at Palazzo Rocca with Dog on the Forge : from 20 April until 21 July 2024, the exhibition presents paintings and drawings, bronze sculptures and a large installation – a group of works created specifically by the artist for the occasion. Gerhard Steidl, who curated the exhibition, was inspired by Dine's constant travels between Europe and the USA. “All my life I've been on the move,” says Dine, “It's hard for me to sit still. It's a hyperactive quality, I would say. I've always liked going from studio to studio, from one country to another. For me, travel It's like using red. It's another way to create the work."
