The Biennale takes place in two official sites in Venice: the Arsenale, which hosts the international exhibition, and the Giardini di Castello in the east of the city, which houses the national pavilions including the British Pavilion. The British Council manages the British Pavilion and its exhibition programme. The British Council has published exhibition catalogues for previous British Pavilion commissions and worked with publishers on specific catalogues for both the Art and Architecture Biennale.
