The breathtaking floating city hosts the Olympics of the art world every two years. It’s the original biennale on which others in the world have been modelled. The 60th edition opened in April and runs until November. In that time it will welcome around 800,000 visitors, who flock to see the work of the world’s best artists all in one place. With more than 85 countries represented, the city’s gardens, palaces and monuments are overflowing with art, transforming the city into a gigantic museum.

Thank you @France24 for an excellent piece regarding Venice Biennale’s incredible indigenous exhibits & artists. The interviews are especially engaging & informative.

Rather disappointing that a large proportion of the program highlighted the US Pavilion, considering that there are over 300 artists represented. The work of the US artist Jeffrey Gibson tends to reflect a Disneyfied version of indigenous contemporary art presented in the political arena that is the biennale formula. However, the representation and interviews with the African representatives was refreshing to see and explore.
