Biennale Day 1

Well, here we go, tickets to the Venice Biennale in hand off we go to the Arsenale this morning to see what's on offer.

I won't torment you by showing all the photographs i took, but here's a few things i really liked...


these shadows on velvet.....

cart art....

i didn't really like these plastic figure sculptures but i liked the guy coping a feel of that one's ass.

This scale model of the Biennale which rose up out of the water.

This photograph in the Chinese pavilion....

Sometimes it was hard to tell the exhibits from the viewers....

People photographing one another...

Photographs of machines mounted on boxes to look like machines.

This swinging pendulum tree.

This lady's sequined coat....

This wall to wall drawing installation in the Italian Pavilion.

A coffin made of lottery tickets...

This band of brass musicians playing mournfully on a boat in the basin was one of my favorite things.

And despite the all day rain, the awesome spaces of the Arsenal.
