T
he 60th edition of the Venice Biennale will take place from 17 April to 24 November 2024, under the curation of Adriano Pedrosa. This year’s exhibition, titled Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, draws inspiration from Claire Fontaine’s neon sculptures, which appropriated the phrase from a Turin collective combating xenophobia in the early 2000s.
The Biennale will shine a spotlight on artists who embody the essence of “foreignness” in its myriad forms – be they immigrants, expatriates, diaspora, émigrés, refugees, or individuals existing on the fringes of society. Artist Jeffrey Gibson will represent the United States in 2024 and his pavilion is supported by a limited-edition work sold by Sotheby’s.
Sotheby’s will again take residence at The Gritti Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice, for the duration of the Vernissage. Plan your visit and learn more about the Venice Biennale in our guide and stories below.

‘The expression Stranieri Ovunque has several meanings. First of all, that wherever you go and wherever you are you will always encounter foreigners— they/we are everywhere. Secondly, that no matter where you find yourself, you are always truly, and deep down inside, a foreigner.’
