Joint Presentation of Czechia and Slovakia at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia

The project The Silence of the Mole will be presented in the year marking the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Czechoslovak Pavilion, and it was precisely this jubilee that gave rise to the idea of a joint presentation. After twenty years, the two countries have agreed to realise a joint exhibition presentation at the Venice Biennale Arte this year.
