Coronavirus: the Architecture Biennale slides in August

(ANSA) - VENICE, MAR 04 - Due to the Coronavirus epidemic, the 2020 Architecture Biennale, curated by HashimSarkis, will take place in Venice (Giardini and Arsenale) from Saturday 29 August (pre-opening Thursday 27 and Friday 28 August) until Sunday 29 November, instead of from May 23 to November 29, as previously announced. The new dates of the Architecture Biennale have been established as a consequence of the recent precautionary measures on the subject of mobility taken by the governments of an increasing number of countries in the world, which will have an effect on the movement of people and works in the coming weeks. This is a period that concerns the delicate start of the preparation of a complex international exhibition such as the Architecture Biennale, which involves architects and institutions from over 60 countries on all continents.
