Dionisio Gonzales: A F\u00e9ny \u00f3r\u00e1i sorozat, Real Venice (a Foscari Canal torkolat\u00e1ban F. L. Wright 1953-as Memorial Masieri \u00e9p\u00fclete)<\/p><\/div>\n

When we have had the chance to visit the biennale for thirty years, the concept of every year was defined by the chief trustee. This tendency was even more significant when architectural exhibitions were also organized there. After being invited for a discussion by the chief trustee, the national commissioners were eager to cooperate with more or less enthusiasm in the hope of attention and desired success.
\nHaving the tradition of being a world exhibition, the biennale also offered the opportunity of international orientation owing to the participation of nations and the independence of pavilions. This was reinforced by the fact that 30 countries have got a national pavilion of their own which induces general international participation in itself. Some of these countries represent the mainstream in the world of fine arts even today owing to their economic and political rank. The authority of the majority and the international prestige of their artists, however, have been pushed to the periphery if compared to the situation at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Peripheral position in culture always means the promise of the future, but the present-day structure of the Biennale is not suited to make an impression of this. It has been especially true since 1999, when the new chairman, Paolo Baratta redefined and adjusted it to the new media of the \u201eglobal village\u201d. The call word of the chief trustee would be necessary even today, as it is justified by several memorable years. However, a trustee\u2019s followable concept is also needed, so that the trustees of the national pavilions could complay with it without playing the role of minor trustees rising above nations. In today\u2019s fun-fair \u2013 which was revised more than a decade ago and has interests in tourism, art trade, multimedia hardware \u2013 we would urgently have to turn to the genuine background \u2013 the social circles \u2013 of each national pavilion together with trustees and artists representing authentic concepts. Among others, it is also the responsibility of the Hungarian juries and trustees whether or not the renaissance could be born in our \u201eperiphery\u201d.<\/p>\n
