在今天早些時候的新聞發佈會上，2018 威尼斯雙年展策展人來自Grafton 事務所的 Yvonne Farrell 和 Shelley McNamara 透露更多關於今年將於5月26日至11月25日舉行的活動的信息。基於去年6月他們提出的主題概念—「Freespace」—這次活動將在 Giardini 的中央展館中展出71名參與者的作品，而另外兩個特別的展區將會有29個參與者。除此之外，世界各地將有65個國家展館參展，其中包括7個首次參展的國家：Antigua & Barbuda（安提瓜和巴布達），Saudi Arabia（沙特阿拉伯），Guatemala（危地馬拉），Lebanon（黎巴嫩），Mongolia（蒙古），Pakistan and the Holy See（巴基斯坦和羅馬教廷）。
雙年展主席 Paolo Baratta 發表評論：
創建 FREESPACE 的願望成為每個單獨項目的具體個體特徵。但是空間，自由空間，公共空間也可以揭示建築的存在與否，如果我們理解建築是「思考應用於我們居住的空間，我們居住的地方。」這次國際展覽將為我們提供範例、教導和討論的主題。因此，我們感謝 Farrell 和 McNamara 接受我們的邀請和選擇，這為多年來舉辦的連續展覽增加了一個重要的連接。
這些特別的章節將會被命名為「近距離接觸，會議和傑出的項目」，這些作品的靈感來自於對著名歷史建築的反思和「教學實踐」，提出作為各種教學經驗的一部分而發展起來的項目。這兩個部分將分別介紹16和13個參與者。
此外，還將介紹兩個特別項目：
- 位於Mestre 的 Forte Marghera Special Project，由 Sami Rintala 和 Dagur Eggertsson 安裝在 Forte Marghera 將被建造來舉辦一系列的活動。
- 位於 Arsenale 的Sale d’Armi的 Special Project at the Applied Arts Pavilion 它將展示羅賓漢花園的社會住房的一部分，已於2017年底被 Victoria & Albert 博物館收購。在威尼斯雙年展與V&A博物館的合作中，這幢建築的碎片將成為 Christopher Turner 和 Olivia Horsfall 秋季策劃的展覽的一部分。
最後，將在雙年展期間舉辦相關活動，包括「建築會議」，與會者將有機會討論對「Freespace」宣言的不同見解。（摘自2017年6月發佈的「Freespace」宣言）
FREESPACE 描述了一種慷慨的精神和人文情感，它是建築議程的核心，關注的是空間本身的質量。
FREESPACE 注重建築為那些使用它的人提供免費和額外的空間的能力，並能滿足陌生人的潛在願望。
FREESPACE 讚揚建築在每個項目中發揮額外的和意想不到的慷慨——即使是在最私人的，防禦的，排他性的或商業限制的條件下。
FREESPACE 提供機會強調自然的免費禮物——陽光和月光，空氣，重力，材料——自然和人造資源。
FREESPACE 鼓勵回顧思考的方式，觀察世界的新方式，創造解決方案，在這個脆弱的星球上，建築為每個公民提供良好的生活和尊嚴。
FREESPACE 可以是一個充滿機會的空間，一個民主的空間，沒有程序的空間，也可以自由地使用還沒有構想出來的東西。人們和建築物之間有一種交流，即使不是有意或設計的，在建築師離開這個場景很久之後，建築本身也會隨著時間的推移找到與人分享和接觸的方式。建築具有主動和被動的生活。
FREESPACE 包括自由的想像，時間和記憶的自由空間，將過去、現在和未來結合在一起，建立在繼承的文化層面上，用現代的方式編織陳舊的東西。
