My questions: 1. Do you find the Venice Biennale structure a "utopia" for art?
2. Can there ever be an ideal venue for art over many disciplines and cultures?
Gonkar Gyatso was born in 1961 in Lhasa and studied Fine Art in Beijing and London.He is the founder of the contemporary Tibetan art gallery The Sweet Tea House and is currently based and working in London.

Works by Gyatso are now held in the Newark Museum (USA), the Pitt Rivers Museum (Oxford), Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (Australia), Burger Collection (Switzerland), Rossi&Rossi (London), Red Gate Gallery (Beijing), The Newark Museum (New York), and numerous private collections. Having lived in Tibet, China, India and the West, Gyatso's art proposes insightful statements on cultural hybridity of globalization as well as the sea change of the world yet to come.

My Questions: 1.When do you consider that cultural hybridity to become a culture on its own terms?
2. Does the Venice Biennale's title "Making Worlds" support or stifle your artist statement?

Brief description of his work in Venice Biennale:
'galaxies forming along filaments, like droplets along the strands of a spider's web' 2009 by tomas saracenomade of elastic ropes image © designboomargentinian artist tomas saraceno is exhibiting his work 'galaxies forming along filaments, like droplets along the strands of a spider's web' as part of the 'fare mondi' / making worlds / bantin duniyan / 制造世界 / weltenmachen / construire des mondes/fazer mundos...exhibition.saraceno's interest in architectural projects is part of the artist's ongoing fascination with utopian theories and astronomical constellations. his conception of what constitutesan architectural structure is admirably broad, and his new installation examines how the black widow's gossamer filaments are able to suspend extreme weights through the use of complex geometry.
