Bee-A-Nah-Leh (Part 1)

Ciao tutti! Sono tornata! Finalllllly, a little rundown on my Venice visit. I'm posting today with some photos, primarily focused on the main pavilion.


The approach.


First room--ceiling installation and series of drawings installation, and (see below)


A detail from Nicolás Paris' Classroom: Partial exercises installation.

The second room had an enjoyable installation by Gianni Colombo: Spazio elastico, a dark room with a glowing grid of elastic bands, which you were to move through in space. Felt a bit like Tron. Too dark for a picture though.


Next up was my favorite room--R.H. Quaytman's I Modi, Chapter 22. Courtesy the artist and Miguel Abreru Gallery, NYC.


In the second or third room I looked up, horrified, and started to back-step slowly out of the door, thinking a pigeon attack was brewing. But, upon closer inspection...


...these taxidermied birds (scattered throughout every room of the pavilion), were intentionally placed. Unfortunately I didn't catch the name of the author of this work.


I simply had to share this shot of the Cafe. It was, well, dizzying. Only in Venice.

Stay tuned for Part 2--USA, France, Germany, and other individual pavilions!
