The Summer of Art

24.7.22


You know, I read this book ("The Rabbit Factor" by Antti Tuomainen) that starred an insurance mathematician. I'm nothing like that. I am all that. So here are the (rough) numbers. Summer 2022. Venice, Italy. 6 days. Biennale Arte. Main exhibition (at Arsenale & Giardini). 60 national participants. 12 collateral events. Handful (or two) of other events and museums in town. Unlimited amount of sweat. The Summer of Art.

A lot of guilt over the greed. To see it all. Didn't see it all.

Central Pavilion, Alexandra Pirici, Louise Lawler

A lot of appreciation to having been there and seen some of it.

Will do it again. And again.

Side note on the photos: I didn't take that many. And not photos of all the works I adored. But some, to add to the memory. I have been here. And there. All photos in this post are from Giardini della Biennale - where a weird time warp (those pavilions!) meets contemporary art. All that with less crowds and more air than Arsenale (no time warp, all cool).
