Exhibition must continue - Show must go on

Counting over 30 years of history, Venice Biennale of Architecture is one of the most important exhibitions in the world joining curated exhibition and national exhibitions.
It is not only place for most famous architects to show their work, but also for countries and among them are Latvia, Estonia, Georgia. Lithuanian architects still did not take their chance.
Can we put architecture along other arts and treat as a cultural export? What are benefits for country? What is cultural and economical importance of Venice Biennale of Architecture? What and how is presented there? And lastly - what new and interesting Lithuania can show?
