Icelandic Pavilion in Venice 2007:

Steingrímur Eyfjörð
Attracts Crowds

Almost 20.000 visitors already have seen Steingrimur Eyfjörd's exhibition at this years Biennale di Venezia. "It is difficult to attract the audience for a venue outside the main exhibition area", says Christian Schoen, commissioner of the Icelandic Pavilion. "But due to the perfect location at Canale Grande the Palazzo Michiel is not only an exciting place for an exhibition like that, it is also easy to find." In fact, it is just a few meters from waterbusstop Ca' D'Oro. The exhibition will be open until November 21.
