Video #31: The Nordic Pavilion, Venezia la Biennale 2009

I really enjoyed the Nordic Pavilion as part of the bienalle in Venice. The curators Elmgreen & Dragset combined the Danish and the Nordic pavilion houses and transformed  them into "real"residences. The first house was out for sale and the other housed a design oriented man with a big appetite for young men.

This video is shot in the garden - giardini of the bienalle in Venice. Yoko Onos piece was part of the main exhibition, and other pieces were part of the different international pavilions.

Video #29: Venezia la Biennale 2009, Arsenale

We visited the la biennale in Venice, Italy some weeks ago. We spent two days crawling the exhibition, and once again it was fantastic. On the biennale website the director Daniel Birnbaum explains the title and theme: “The title of the exhibition, Making Worlds, Fare Mondi, expresses my wish to emphasize the process of creation. A work of art represents a vision of the world and if taken seriously it can be seen as way of making a world.”
