As well as the national pavilions there are countless other unofficial pavilions at the Venice biennale[1][2] that spring up every year. 2009 saw pavilions such as the Gabon Pavilion and even a Peckham pavilion.[3]

The Peckham Pavilion represented the Hannah Barry Gallery at the 53rd Venice Biennale. The Hannah Barry Gallery is based in Peckham, London UK and came about from the Lyndhurst Way space. The pavilion was located at Castello 1829, Cia Garibaldi and featured young and emerging artists represented by the gallery primarily from the South-East of London.[4]
The Roma Pavilion showcases the work of the Roma culture.[5] It began in 2007,[6] however in 2009 it was canceled at short notice and the perpetual gypsy pavilion came about in protest to this and the controversy surrounding the infringement of human rights on Roma Gypsies.[7] The Roma pavilion returned in 2011[8]
A notable pavilion is the Internet pavilion. Originally an official part of the venice biennale in 2009 due to differences of opinion (one example being the inclusion of pirate bay an illegal bittorrent provider amongst other things) the internet pavilion split and put on their second event in 2011 independently.[9]
