"This year in the context of the 2017 Venice Biennale, the European Cultural Centre presents 'Personal Structures : Open Borders' in two of its Palazzos in Venice: Palazzo Mora and Palazzo Bembo. The exhibition is organised by the GAA Foundation, that since 2002 has organised exhibitions and symposia worldwide and published books highlighting philosophical themes in contemporary art and architecture. In particular the Foundation has expanded the concepts of Time, Space, Existence, bringing artists and architects from various cultural backgrounds and of different ages together. As sincere as possible, the GAA Foundation presents in this exhibition what can be seen as a modest cross section of European visual art in dialogue with many non-European artists. 'Personal Structures : Open Borders' is an open forum for discussion to take place on the different expressions of contemporary art that break away from any ideological, political and geographical barriers."--Introduction.
