The Independent points to Cibic's exhibition as an example of the tension between national representation and artistic subversion that runs throughout the Biennale.

Cibic has covered the entire interior of the Slovenian pavilion with wallpaper printed with images of a beetle named after Hitler. Discovered in a Slovenian cave in the 1930s, the beetle points to the acceptance of Fascism in the nation's past, the paper says.

"From afar, the wallpaper appears elegant; up close, the walls appear to swarm psychedelically with vermin."

Commissioned by The Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, "Cibic's work is intelligent, humorous, and angry - a highlight this year", according to the paper.

Praise for Cibic, who reshaped the entire pavilion into Slovenia's parliament house, also came from the Austrian daily Der Standard. The paper is excited about Cibic's concept, based on the questions of what state art is and what role the artist plays in it, as well as about the use of space in the project.
