As a one-to-one stand-in for reality, a transformation of space, or an immersive, sensory experience, an installation can communicate in ways that a single painting or sculpture just can’t do. In its embrace of multiple mediums – painting, sculpture, collage, video, photography, light, sound, and more – and its – oftentimes site-specific – entanglement with space, installation presents many challenges to the gallerist, the collector, and the historian. What happens to an installation when the exhibition is over? How do you collect an installation? How can it be displayed again? The following list highlights installations and environments now on view – from new site-specific installations, to historic works, restaged.

The Venice Biennale, founded in 1895, now includes 30-plus national pavilion spaces in the Giardini area, a mindboggling abundance of ancillary exhibitions (including especially the group show in the warehouse-like Arsenale), as well as a plethora of performance art, music and theater.

A mesmerizing, surreal experience awaits anyone entering the Japan Pavilion at this year’s Venice Art Biennale.

Japan’s contribution to the 56th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia is an exhibition by artist Chiharu Shiota entitled The Key in

In this video, artist Chiharu Shiota talks about her installation “The Key in the Hand” in the Japanese Pavilion at the 2015 Venice Biennale. “When people walk through here,” she says, “it’s like walking around human memories and human life.” Comprising over 180,000 keys suspended by threads of red yarn that cluster over a pair of old wooden boats, Shiota’s dazzling installation quickly became one of the most emblematic images of this year’s Biennale.

The Venice Biennale is built on paradox and contradiction: against the grain of globalization, the Biennale follows a model of representation by nation-states, and its non-commercial structure is undermined by the extravagant cost of mounting an exhibition there. These inconvenient facts have been duly pointed out by art critics disembarking en masse onto Venice’s waterlogged streets for the Biennale preview week, with more than one critic seizing the image of “ladies in Louboutins” struggling to keep their footing through the Venice art marathon as the perfect metaphor for the Biennale’s inherent contradictions.
