Introducing this year’s SWATCH FACES
At this year’s Biennale Arte, we present work from several distinctive guest artists from around the globe as part of our SWATCH FACES 2022 exhibition.
Enter a new world at the Giardini with Navin Rawanchaikul
This year, we are taking over the 19th-century Giardini with 'THE DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD', a thought-provoking exhibition by Thai artist Navin Rawanchaikul, inspired by the travels of Venice’s own Marco Polo and the modern migrant experience.

A unique canvas for art
To commemorate the Venice Biennale and celebrate our love of art, we’ve created an amazing Art Special watch with Thai artist Navin Rawanchaikul. The watch shows elements from THE DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD, his art installation inspired by the travels of Marco Polo.

MEET MARCELOT: MULTIMEDIA MAGIC
For Brazil-born master of symbolism Marcelot, the medium of his work is secondary to the message. So it’s no surprise his Swatch Faces exhibit features a newspaper bust of Napoleon. A true original.
MEET XUE FEI: MYTH AND MEMORY
Chinese artist Xue Fei taps into ancient legends, natural materials and childhood memories to weave her own artistic dreamworld designed to explore the unconscious and how the mind transforms perception.
MEET HOYOON SHIN: FORCE AND FRAGILITY
Korean artist Hoyoon Shin uses fragile materials like paper to create sculptures with surprising strength – a practice symbolizing the power of human vulnerability and examining societal structures.
MEET LANDI: COLORFUL COLLAGE CREATIONS
Welcome to 'Landi Land': the bright and innocent world of artist Lin Jiechu, known as Landi. Her colorful collage compositions tap into the dreams and innocence of childhood to take us somewhere new.
MEET TANG SHU: A PAINTER WITH FEELING
Shanghai-born artist Tang Shu uses the texture and structure of oil painting to liberate art from two dimensions and create images with their own distinctive, atmospheric feel.
