Until now, the Artistic Director has been selected through a recommendation-based system, in which a small group of advisors nominated candidates for consideration and a final director was appointed from among them.
While the existing system has often brought in internationally renowned figures, the Biennale is embracing a new approach to honor its landmark 30-year history.
