To achieve the pretense neutrality of the exhibition space, it is necessary to mask the countless workers involved in the setup and maintenance of an exhibition, which appears to have resulted exclusively from the creative work of the artists and, sometimes, the curator. Guards, wall painters, the setup team, janitors and maintenance staff are not allowed a place in the space they helped to create or preserve, reinforcing a sort of alienated/estranged work.
Opposed to this erasing of an important part of the exhibition space, five tracks of the audio guide of the 33rd Biennial were reserved for the comments of some of these professionals – certainly the people who will live together the most with the works on display from September through December in the Biennial building.
