Each Venice Biennale offers new themes. In most cases, it is about answering or looking for an answer to the often universal questions posed by the organisers of this event. I am sure that once again, Slovenia will know how to propose its creative conquests in a dignified manner. This year the exhibition is held at the Galleria A+A and is constrained by the temporal limits imposed by the Biennale, but has grown and expanded to other eminent Venetian sites - and this acts to overcome the tensions characteristic of the June days preceding the Biennale's opening and also as a warning to the unfortunate fact that a solution for the creation of Pavilions for new countries at the Giardini has yet to be found. I wish the artists taking part a successful Biennale and the visitors to the Slovenian Pavilion an enjoyable visit.
