This year's Venice Biennale theme exhibition "The Milk of Dreams" comes from the children's book of the same name by the Mexican surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (Leonora Carrington), which describes a fantasy world: Life is constantly reconstructed through the prism of imagination, where anyone can be transformed into another person, or even an object. Chief curator Cecilia Alemani describes it as an "allegory" of the last century.
The Biennale has three themed areas: "The Body and Its Deformation"; "The Relationship between the Individual and Technology"; "The Connection Between the Body and the Earth". Art creates a journey of imagination and contemplation, leading us to reflect The state of being in the post-human age.
Cecilia Alemani is the fifth female chief curator in the exhibition's history and the first Italian woman to curate the biennale. It is reported that this year a total of 213 artists from 58 countries participated in the exhibition, of which more than 90% of the participating artists were women, setting a record for the largest number of female artists. Many of them are closely related to fashion brands. For example, Tomaso Binga, an Italian woman who participated in this exhibition, participated in the design of the Dior fashion show.
Also a supporter of the Venetian Heritage Foundation, Louis Vuitton will also support the Domus d'Or museum, providing funding for the restoration of the historic late-Gothic palace.
In addition to preserving historic buildings, Louis Vuitton has a passion for contemporary art. This year, the Fondation Louis Vuitton participated in the official parallel project curated by Ceilia Alemani for the Venice Biennale. The Louis Vuitton Espace cultural and art space exhibited the three-dimensional work "Apollo, Apollo" created by German female artist Katharine Grosse for this Biennale. This large-scale installation is made of metal mesh cloth, and the artist's own hands are used as molds.
During the first week of the Biennale, Louis Vuitton also renovated eight traditional newsstands, adding colour and culture to the streets of Venice. These local kiosks are turned into limited-time bookstores, featuring Louis Vuitton travel book series City Guide, Fashion Eye, Travels and more.
This year is the second year in a row that Bottega Veneta has been an official partner of the Venice Biennale di Danza.

The typewriter was photographed in the Olivetti showroom by renowned interior photographer Francois Halard and designed by architect Carlo Scarpa. The showroom showcases not only the talent of Scarpa, but also the beauty of the typewriter itself, with 15 limited-edition bags paying homage to this multidimensional design philosophy. 
Today, fashion brands are increasingly interested in relevant topics that affect human life, even if they are difficult to understand. For a cultural institution whose identity is rooted in the visual arts, dealing with science is certainly an intellectual challenge. How does a luxury brand develop an exhibition of ideas and knowledge? How do you find a way to articulate scientific rigor in a way that everyone can understand?
Like The Brain, The Conversation Machine is a self-organizing system that responds automatically, constantly constructing and assimilating its own order and disorder. Through snippets excerpted from more than 140 hours of interviews, participants appear to be listening and responding to each other's statements; they are constantly entering and exiting; items relevant to their work are constantly presented; Humans sit in chairs, falling into continual, silent silence; like the human brain, conversations evolve according to a logic of prediction and surprise. According to Giancarlo Comi, chair of the Scientific Committee on the Human Brain, “It allows us to participate in social life in a more profound way, respecting and appreciating the diversity between people and ideas.”
