La Biennale di Venezia 51: Always a Little Further: Short Guide

“Always A Little Further” tries to invent new forms of neighbourhoods between artists, disciplines and audiences. Neighbourliness is a form of contextual association that recognises the horizontality of the nearby as having more democratic value than the game of hierarchical oppositions characteristic of Western metaphysics. Artists from different generations and cultural contexts have travalled to Venice in a deterritorialisation movement that sees them converted into floating islands... The minimalisation of walls in the exhibition is an ideological response to the need to update the humanistic question of how to live together, of how to go beyond the individual white box, establishing a dialogue with the existent architecture and between neighbouring artists.
