We went to a few art expedition in Venice as well as the Biennale exhibit. The Biennale is a yearly exhibit of either art or architecture. This year is art. Each country has a separate building that a famous architect form that country designed. Inside each one is an art exhibition by a well-known artist that refers to a theme . I have never seen art like this in my life. It gave me a new perspective on how to look at things. The detail that these individuals implemented was incredible. They took something that normally people do not think about and created a work of art that was symbolic by analyzing these instances.
My favorite was France. Sadly, my camera died. I will try my best to explain each part:
1. Be New-- The faces of 60 newborns are cut into 3 parts. They parade over the screen at high speed and are then recomposed to form almost a million and a half hybrid beings. Like them, we are physically just a puzzle of those who have preceded us. The eyes of one are juxtaposed with the mouth of another.
2. Talking Chairs: Chairs were scattered throughout the French Pavillion. When you sit down they ask, each in a different language, "Is this the last time?". Again, only fate can answer that question, which may apply to any moment in life.
We also went to San Giorgio. I will explain that installation later-- ABSOLUTELY loved it--look on the pictures.
| Demonstration of Ecoli--Ironic? |
| Loved this installation! Started out with a huge block of clay and white walls and the vistors have created their own masterpiece. |
| Make sense? |
