Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva attended the ceremony. The exhibition “Beyond the Line” sheds light on the spirit of the artists who had remained in the shadow of the 20thcentury Soviet regime, and their love for freedom. Exhibitions of artists whohad opposed the communist ideology in the Soviet regime and wished to express their “revolutionary” position had never been organized; they could not leave the country. The exhibition “Beyond the Line” demonstrates the spirits of the artists that had so far remained in the dark, and their world of art. Works by seven artists - Ashraf Murad, Javad Mirjavadov, Tofik Javadov, Rasim Babayev, Fazil Najafov, Hussein Hagverdy, and Shamil Najafzadeh - are displayed at the exhibition “Beyond the Line”. The exhibitions continued until November 22, 2015. The Venice Biennale is the most respected and influential exhibition-action in the world’s contemporary art. For art amateurs, the Venice Biennale is a good opportunity to see contemporary pieces of art, present their creativity, meet persons of art, and discuss modern trends.
