For the first time in the history of the Venice Biennale, two artists from different countries-Denmark and United States- will be displaying a joint project inside a national pavilion. This venture wants to create a forum for debate, a place to re-open, from the inside, the discussion on the significance of the “national” within the framework of the international. This full book of colored illustrations shows the nuts and bolts of this expansive multi-media installation comprised of the seven race cars covered with stickers, monitors, tires, sponsors banners, as well as other elements and objects from the track and the race environment.

This exhibition honors the singular vision and dedication of the determined woman whose name the art school bore. Neibert Chouinard started out with nothing but her love for young artists and their creative spirit and her generous need to offer them encouragement and training.The number and diversity of well-known artists who passed through Chouinard remains astounding crossing at least three generations: first Millard Sheets, Lorser Feitelson, Emerson Woelffer, Frederick Hammersley and later John Altoon, Robert Irwin, Connor Everts, Joe Goode, Ed Ruscha, Llyn Foulkes, John Mason and the next generation Chuck Arnoldi,Mary Corse, Larry Bell, Allen Ruppersberg, Tom Wudl, Elsea Rady to mention a few. They embody our history from plein air impressionism to post surrealism, from Abstract Expressionism to Light and Space, from Pop and Minimalism to the Conceptualism of the early seventies.
