LA BIENNALE DELL'ARTE
Since I'm lucky enough to live only 45 min away from Venice I could not miss the opportunity to go to the 55th International Art Exhibition. La Biennale is spread over two sites, in the park called the Giardini and the fortresslike Arsenale nearby, it’s immense, with more than 150 artists participating from all over the world. Here are some of the artworks that impressed me most:
BERLINDE DE BRUYCKERE
BELGIUM
THE 387 HOUSES OF PETER FRITZ AUSTRIA
THIERRY DE CORDIER BELGIUM
LYNETTE YIADOM-BOAKYE UNITED KINGDOM
VALENTIN CARRON SWITZERLAND
