Riding high on recent publicity surrounding its plans for architecturally daring mega-cities for the arts, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is participating for the first time in the Venice Biennale .
In fact, there is not just one Emirati pitch in the prestigious arts festival's most coveted area - the Arsenale - but two; a national pavilion in the name of the Emirates and a platform for the country's capital, Abu Dhabi.
But if the pavilion is national by name, you would be forgiven for mistaking it for a showcase for the UAE's most high-profile emirate, Dubai.
