Quanto às representações nacionais de maior relevo:
'Trafaria Praia' by Joana Vasconcelos (b. 1971, Paris, France), curated by Miguel Amado, is, probably, the pavilion where one stays the longest time at this year Biennial edition. After all the fuzz, arousing every two years, about the Portuguese representation, and together with the national pavilions of Republic of Korea (which invites the bodies of the audience to encounter the infinite reflections of light and sound) and of France (Anri Sala video/sound installation on Ravel sinfonie for left-handed), at the Giardini, and of Mexico (a complex machine which describes the surrounding space and ambiance through sound) at the ex-Church of San Lorenzo, and Eric van Lieshout's work "Healing" (2013) at the Arsenale, 'Trafaria Praia' is definitely one of the few representations that has a whole encompassing sensorial experience. It speaks to sight, hearing, smelling and mnemonic environment. An encompassing sensorial experience inducing to the self-taught American artist, Edward Kienholz works'. Kienholz’s "surreal sculptural assemblages highlight the artist’s penchant for wrestling with difficult subject matter and creating sharp social criticism," like Five Car Stud (1972), in where the visitor was allow to navigate through the art-installation, get involved in the game played by light and shadows, feel the smell of earth and soil, participate in a performative act of social-castration. For all the tourists, out of the normal 400 thousand that visit the Biennale, every two years, this would be one of the few art things that they will remember from their visit to Venice.

A exposição colateral "a remote whisper", de Pedro Cabrita Reis (n. 1956, Lisboa), no Palazzo Falier, comissarida por Sabrina van der Ley, apresenta-se como um excelente diálogo entre espaço e obra. A instalação convida os espectadores a participarem na construção de percursos aleatórios através do espaço (700 metros quadrados), enquanto criam, desta forma, uma percepção intrínseca da peça.
Uma outra proposta colateral à programação central da Bienal de Veneza é apresentada pela Fundação Prada, a qual traz e apresenta "When Attitude Becomes Form". Este exercício de dupla ocupação, reapresenta e reavalia o processo curatorial ao reconstruir a exposição que decorreu no Kunsthalle, em Berna (Alemanha), em 1969, em três dos pisos do palácio do século dezoito, Ca' Corner della Regina, em Veneza (Itália).
