[edit] Architecture
I have also seen the Venice Biennale mentioned in architecture circles, but I get the impression that this is a separate event (the other set of alternate years?). Can anyone clarify. -- Solipsist 21:50, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Venice Art Biennal
The Venice Art Biennal stands as one of the most important international art events in the world. Site in English and Italian
In 1893 headed by the mayor of Venice, Riccardo Selvatico, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution on 19th April to set up an Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale (biennial exhibition of Italian art), to be inaugurated on 22nd April 1894. [1] Following the outbreak of hostilities during the Second World War, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted in September 1942. The last edition of the Art Exhibition took place in 1942 to resume only in 1948. [2] The event has since been held on a regular basis since 1948. In 2007 Mexico made its official debut at the Venice Art Biennal with an exhibition by artist Rafel Lozano-Hemmer. Art News NonstarvingArtists.com
