威尼斯双年展已经越来越近了，各个参展国都已经公布了代表自己参展的艺术家。但我们知道，除了不同的主题馆之外，每次威尼斯双年展的策展人都会推出一个自己策划的主题展，这才是最代表双年展学术意图的地方。

这次威尼斯双年展的策展人是艺术史学家和评论人Bice Curiger，她今年策划的主题展叫“ILLUMInations”(也可以被拆分为“ILLUMI-nations)，意指在全球背景下艺术所释放出的力量。这样的一个名字，当然会让我们期待更多。Curiger说，展览将“关注直觉洞察力和能散发出光芒的思想”。

最近，Curiger公布了参加“ILLUMInations”展的艺术家名单。从名单上看，Curiger选择的主要是年轻艺术家。一共有82位艺术家入选了这个名单，其中，32位是女性。我们注意到，中国艺术家宋冬也在这个名单中。下面就是参展艺术家的名单：
