    ARMENIA IS NOT READY FOR VENICE BIENNALE

    There are some issues related to Armenia's participation in the 2013
    54th Venice Biennale. The government allotted 5 million AMD for this
    aim, but this money is only the ten percent of the whole sum required
    for Armenia's participation.

    Armenia took part in the Venice Biennale in 1995 for the first time.

    After, Armenia has always had its pavilion at the Biennale. The
    requests on the concept of participation and pavilion content design
    should be presented to the ministry of culture by December 15, but so
    far no request has been presented.

    Art critic Lilit Sargsyan says that after the invitation is received,
    the invited country launches the relevant process which starts with
    the appointment of the Curator, who takes care of the fundraising and
    appoints a responsible, who chooses the artists and presents the
    concept.

    On October 25 the meeting of all participant curators was held, but
    Armenia presented no request.

    According to the head of modern art department Seyranuhi Geghamyan,
    Armenia has not received the invitation, though the organizers claim
    to have conveyed it to the embassy of Armenia at the beginning of
    October.
