On the occassion of this year’s Venice Biennial, Alexandra Dementieva will take part in the group exhibition of Russian Artists ‘We Are Here’ at the University of Venice. Curator of this exhibition is Sylvia Burini.

Always interested in all kinds of communication, Dementieva will present a site-specific interactive installation that is an invitation to visiting aliens to start action. In order to do so she uses the internationally, and possibly also intergallactically, known pictogram ‘PLAY’ as invitation.

The exhibition opens Friday 3 June and runs until 2 July 2011, open Monday-Friday 10-6 and Saturday 10-2, at

Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Sede di San Sebastiano, Dorsoduro 1686, Venezia

Waterbus stop: San Basilio
