The short guide to the Biennale Arte 2019, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, is designed to lead visitors through the exhibition spaces of the Arsenale and the Giardini, and point them to other projects situated throughout the city of Venice during the 58th International Art Exhibition curated by Ralph Rugoff, whose introduction explores the themes of the show. Both a practical guide and a souvenir volume, the book introduces the readers to the work of the 79 artists in the International Exhibition, the National Participations of the 58th International Art Exhibition and the Collateral Events taking place across the city between 11 May and 24 November 2019.
