The 53rd International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia, which opens to the press on June 4, 2009, and to the public June 7th-Nov. 22, 2009, is organized this year by the Frankfurt-based curator Daniel Birnbaum, who has selected more than 90 artists for the show. "The idea," Birnbaum said, "is to give artists a chance to make their work."
