Le vicende si svolgono nell'inverno del 1981 in un sobborgo di Stoccolma, dove nasce un rapporto d'amicizia tra il dodicenne Oskar e una ragazzina vampiro di nome Eli.
Il libro si concentra sul lato più oscuro dell'umanità, trattando temi attuali come il bullismo, la sociopatia, la droga, la diffusione della criminalità giovanile, la pedofilia, la prostituzione e l'omicidio

This exhibition, with work by Jenny Holzer, was originally installed in the United States Pavilion at the 44th Venice Biennale in Italy in 1990. Chief Curator Michael Auping, as United States Commissioner, organized the exhibition, which won the Leone d’Oro (Golden Lion) award for Best Pavilion.

The Buffalo installation was the first United States presentation of Holzer’s recent work and included a number of works from the Biennale installation, as well as several new works designed for the Albright-Knox’s exhibition space.

Since her first series of public art texts, TRUISMS, appeared as broadsides throughout New York in 1977, Holzer has employed the medium of language in a variety of formats to convey her artistic messages. Her texts were inscribed on Italian marble tile floors as well as on a series of light-emitting dicode (LED) signs, the electronic message boards for which she is best known. The Buffalo installation was the first United States presentation of Holzer’s work. Following the 1990 Biennale, the exhibition traveled to Städtische Kunsthalle in Dusseldorf, Germany, and to the Louisiana Museum, Humlebaek, Denmark.

Born in Gallipolis, Ohio, in 1950, Holzer attended Duke University and the University of Chicago before completing a bachelor of fine arts degree at Ohio University in Athens. She entered the master of fine arts program at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1975, where she began her first work with language. She enrolled in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Study Program in 1977, and then applied her words to such media as billboards, metal plaques, television spots, t-shirts and tractor hats. Each body of Holzer’s writing speaks in a unique voice, and the voice can run effortlessly from a graffiti-based harangue to elegiac narrative. The texts, as they evolved, include: TRUISMS, 1977–1979; INFLAMMATORY ESSAYS, 1979–1982; LIVING, 1980–1982; UNDER A ROCK, 1985–1987; and LAMENTS, 1987–1989.

This is a short guide to the 53rd Venice Biennale which was held from 7 June to 22 November 2009. Information about the exhibition, participating countries and collateral events as well as maps are provided.

Bringing together artists from every continent, speakers and art historians from around the globe, the Venice Biennale is a much-anticipated event. In 2005, for the first time in its history, the exposition will be curated by two women: Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez.With more than seven hundred illustrations, this catalogue of the 2005 Biennale is a compendium of the world's leading avant-garde artists and trends. It consists of three volumes, each coinciding with the main themes of this year's Biennale:The Experience of Art, curated by Maria de Corral in the Italian Pavilion is classical in character and juxtaposes works of renowned artists of the past thirty years, such as Beuys, Warhol, Basquiat, and Matta, with contemporary artists. Rosa Martinez calls her show in the Arsenale Always a Little Further, a reference to the comic books by Hugo Pratt featuring the sea captain Corto Maltese, whose taste for adventure also defines artists dedicated to exploring new frontiers. Ms. Martinez probes worlds beyond language by contrasting installation and video art with painting and sculpture.The third section of the Biennale features the 2005 Participating Countries and their pavilions. Represented are, among others, Albania, Morocco, and Lebanon, and a sampling of artists from around the globe, such as Gilbert & George of Great Britain, Gat Bener of Israel, and Pipilloti Rist of Switzerland.

Bill Viola: Buried Secrets, the exhibition organized by curator Marilyn Zeitlin for the U.S. Pavilion at the 46th Venice Biennale in 1995. Bill Viola created five new video installations for the exhibition

In Islam, the world is a huge book filled with signs and symbols; the contemporary art partice of Selleh Japar aimed to develop a language that investigates such signs and symbols. In order to do this, he begins by questioning the very basis of knowledge. With the same spirit of linguistic investigation, the artists Matthew Ngui studies meaning formation; art becomes a little laboratory where ideas are generated and tested, aided by audience participation. To Chen KeZhan, Chinese ink is an important source of and inspiration to art; yet his own paintings cannot help but manifest the cultural environment and lived experiences that inform and transform his practice, just as his work in Venice responds to the exhibition space and context. Neither would Suzanne Victor forego the opportunity or perhaps responsibility, to interact with the structure and environment of the Venice Biennale, given her artistic sensitivity sharpened by diasporic cultural experience...

'This is the catalogue published in conjunction with Singapore's inaugural participation in the 49th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale in 2001. Entitled 'Singapore', this exhibition attempted to articulate cultural vibrancy in contemporary Singapore. The works presented here address the processes of meaning formation, communication, generation of knowledge, heritage and post-colonial, gender and diasporic identities linked to the experiences of Singapore. Singapore's contemporary art is presented through a myriad of forms comprising installation, painting and video, addressing issues of identities, examining relationships of self and the physical and social environment, and responding to the urban condition and city-life of the city-state in a global context.

Artist biographies and selected bibliographies are provided. With preface and foreword by Kwok Kian Chow, the Commissioner, and preface by Paivi Tirkkonen De Grandis, the Vice-commissioner.'

Selected as the United States representative to the 2001 Venice Biennale, the sculptor and installation artist Robert Gober has, thanks to several major museum exhibitions in recent years, established himself as perhaps the most important artist of his generation, thanks to his symbolically charged re-creations of everyday objects that he makes into installations that question the ideals and values of childhood, family, home, and religion. This catalogue presents his work for the United States pavilion at the Biennale.
