The show, entitled"How will we live together?" and curated by Hashim Sarkis, will now take place from May 22 through November 21 next year. It was originally scheduled to run August 29 until November 29. "The current situation, up to now, has definitely prejudiced the realisation of the exhibition in its entirety, jeopardising the realisation, transport and presence of the works and consequently the quality of the exhibition itself," the Biennale said in a statement.
Curator Sarkis, who is Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , said he hoped that participants would be able to complete their work"with the time and vigour it truly deserves."
