Under the auspices of the Cultural Council of UPM (Union pour la Méditerranée), and Marseille Provence 2013 European Cultural Capital, during the Venice Biennale 54th edition, ART for The World is organizing at the piano nobile (1sr floor) of the XVIIIth century baroque Palazzo Zenobio (former Armenian College), located between San Basilio (Zattere) and Campo Santa Margherita, an international show exploring the Mediterranean area today.

The Mediterranean area is so much more than a geographical reference. The birthplace of great civilizations, as well as an open door between the East and the West, developing through centuries on multiple complex models, it remains a constant and yet changing crossroad of peoples and languages, a nurturing ground to growth of social and cultural awareness, a powerful source of inspiration to art. Through the work of the artists hereby selected, the show is aiming to emphasize differences as well as similarities as part of the underlying deep identity connecting all Mediterranean peoples.

THE MEDITERRANEAN APPROACH is an ART for The World project in collaboration with Boghossian Foundation (Brussels), with the support of La Fundacion Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte (Madrid), Epson Italia, Champagne Piper-Heidsieck, Neonlauro, Gondrand as well as with the following Art Galleries: Kamel Mennour (Paris), Almine Rech (Brussels/Paris), Riccardo Crespi (Milan), Kaufmann Repetto (Milan), Minini (Brescia/Milan), Fumagalli (Bergamo).
