The fifteenth International Architecture Exhibition is being held in the Giardini and the Arsenale venues as well as in various other venues in Venice. The Exhibition includes 88 Participants from 37 different countries, as well as 62 National Participations and a selected choice of Collateral Events.

Alejandro Aravena, the Exhibition’s curator, describes the aims of the Exhibition as follows: “We believe that the advancement of architecture is not a goal in itself but a way to improve people’s quality of life. Given life ranges from very basic physical needs to the most intangible dimensions of the human condition, consequently, improving the quality of the built environment is an endeavour that has to tackle many fronts: from guaranteeing very concrete, down-to-earth living standards to interpreting and fulfilling human desires, from respecting the single individual to taking care of the common good, from efficiently hosting daily activities to expanding the frontiers of civilization.

Our curatorial proposal is twofold: on the one hand we would like to widen the range of issues to which architecture is expected to respond, adding explicitly to the cultural and artistic dimensions that already belong to our scope, those that are on the social, political, economical and environmental end of the spectrum. On the other hand, we would like to highlight the fact that architecture is called to respond to more than one dimension at the time, integrating a variety of fields instead of choosing one or another.”

The Meetings on Architecture are a programme of events on the themes and case studies presented at the Biennale. The talks will take place throughout the whole period of the Biennale Architettura 2016, involving the architects and participants invited.

Tate Modern presents the largest retrospective of modernist painter Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986) ever to be shown outside of America. Marking a century since O’Keeffe’s debut in New York in 1916, it is the first UK exhibition of her work for over twenty years. This ambitious and wide-ranging survey reassesses the artist’s place in the canon of twentieth-century art and reveals her profound importance. With no works by O’Keeffe in UK public collections, the exhibition is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for European audiences to view her oeuvre in such depth.

Widely recognized as a founding figure of American modernism, O’Keeffe gained a central position in leading art circles between the 1910s and the 1970s. She was also claimed as an important pioneer by feminist artists of the 1970s. Spanning the six decades in which O’Keeffe was at her most productive and featuring over 100 major works, the exhibition charts the progression of her practice from her early abstract experiments to her late works, aiming to dispel the clichés that persist about the artist and her painting.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue from Tate Publishing and a program of talks and events in the gallery information about which is available on the website.

Tickets can be booked up to 8 hours in advance online or up to 24 hours in advance by telephone on +44 (0)20 7887 8888.

This is the largest Francis Bacon exhibition ever staged in the north of England displaying more than thirty paintings, alongside a group of rarely seen drawings and documents, the exhibition aims to make visitors think differently about the artist’s “bleak and depressing” output.

Francis Bacon often painted a ghost-like frame or structure around the subjects of his paintings.  This powerful device skillfully draws our attention to the figures within his work, intensifying their emotional state to us the viewer. Francis Bacon: Invisible Rooms looks at some of the artist’s most iconic and powerful paintings with a special focus on this recurring motif in his paintings.

An element introduced by the artist in the 1930s, Bacon used a barely visible cubic or elliptic cage around the figures depicted to create his dramatic composition. The exhibition demonstrates the ongoing development of the motif, which Bacon tested in different ways from its inception. A period of experimentation on paper in the late 1950s and early 1960s gave way to a greater spatial complexity in the late 1960s, 70s and 80s, where the cubic cages were transformed into theatrical spaces, demonstrated in 1967’s Triptych Inspired by T.S. Eliot’s ‘Sweeney Agonistes’ (Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden).

There is a parallel exhibition of works by the Austrian painter Marie Lassnig which provides the first UK retrospective of one of the 20th century’s most original painters.
