This is the catalogue published in conjunction with Central Asia's first participation in the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005. 'As it is the first presentation of this regional context in Venice, it make sense to present it exactly a context, a dialectic multiplicity of various artist, various generations, various ethnicities, various cultural centres, and, finally, different countries. It makes sense to expose this context not its latest expressions claiming to be the most up to date, but as a dialectic multiplicity of individual and collective experience, in particular, of the post-Soviet period.' - excerpt by Viktor Misiano, curator of Central Asia Pavilion
