Impressions from our last day at the Biennale Arte in Venice. This time we spend the day at Arsenale, where we checked out the big common exhibition; “All the World’s Futures“ and the rest of the national pavilions.
Not our best day at the biennale, but we found of course splendid and interesting exhibitions and pieces of art; the always interesting William Kentridge, Georg Baselitz‘s series of eight new large-scale paintings titled Fällt von der Wand nicht (Doesn’t Fall From the Wall), the amazing The Phoenix by Xu Bing, Ibrahim Mahama, who created for the biennale a 300 meter-long, 3,000 kg patchwork installation entirely made of old jute sacks, titled Out of Bounds, the very fine Tuvalu National Pavilion, and Liisa Roberts’ photographs of elderly Russian workers, once models for heroic Soviet art.
Over and out from Venice. Ready for new adventures!
Giardini. Venice. Biennale. 2015.
Impressions from another Lower East day at the Biennale Arte in Venice. Trying to grasp as much as possible from all the pavilions in the Giardini part of the biennale. Trying to capture all the good stuff, all the creative, mind-blowing art.
Walking thousands of steps – from the Danish pavilion to the Swiss, to the Norwegian, the Russian, the British…. and so on. Getting lost in time in the amazing Japanese and Canadian pavilions. Enjoying the Australian exhibition very much, ending this day in the very, very fine, quiet and thoughtful Greek contribution to this years biennale.
