Venice biennials count among the most important platforms worldwide for contemporary art and architecture. Switzerland has been represented at the Venice Art Biennale since 1920 and the Architecture Biennale since 1991. As of 2012, Pro Helvetia is responsible for the Swiss contributions at the Biennale.

The 16th International Architecture Exhibition takes place in Venice from 26 May to 25 November 2018 (Preview 24 and 25 May 2018) at the Giardini and at the Arsenale as well as at various venues in the city. The main exhibition entitled «FREESPACE» is curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara.
