      txt: What recession? In Venice, party rolls on - www.boston.com
      With the art world supposedly in crisis - prices dropping, profits of auction houses plummeting, museums engaged in drastic cost-cutting - a provocation like this might hit a nerve. But instead the video has passed largely unnoticed, and the art world has gone on doing what it does best: partying, partying, and more partying.
      txt: Venice Biennale opens to public - BBC news
      "The Venice Biennale is not here to be loved, it's here to be discussed. And if people keep coming back to discuss it, that's the best result that we can have" Mr Birnbaum says. [...] Whatever else, the Biennale offers an unprecedented opportunity to see vast amounts of modern art in one of the world's most historic cities.

      The good thing about the recession is that we will now be able to concentrate on art, on what matters. The bullshit we had to deal with before is over.

      txt: Venice Biennale: Navigating the "Grande Confusione" - nytimes.com
      You immediately know you’re in trouble when a very polite attendant at the Giardini, the public gardens that serve as one of the event’s main sites, tells you “go talk-a to the box, please,” and the box turns out to be a tiny office called the Organizing Secretariat. Here, petitioners stand with their arms crossed in long lines, waiting to plead, in seventeen different languages, to people behind glass, who are very hard to hear and who mostly shrug their shoulders and smile and say no.

      I was drinking a spritz in campo Santa Barnaba while I noticed a man with a white band on the head with a red write: "biennalist". I didn't know him, he didn't know me. I discover now he actually was Thierry Geoffroy (www.emergencyrooms.org). That is Venice theese days: biennale art market vernissages bellini. And something of new and unknown. links: www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html BIENNALIST Facebook group EMERGENCY ROOM and BIENNALIST at the VENICE BIENNALE Facebook group video: Daniel Birnbaum talks about art in the age of globalization - biennalechannel on youtube.com [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuLaZnE8jiI]

      Yesterday was a "no-photo-no-video-no-nothing" day. Just walking on small paths aside the lagoon. Laying on the beach. But coming back on the vaporetto we saw an adventure getting his happy end: The Swimming Cities of Serenissima fleet was approaching the Arsenale area. Welcome to Venice! txt: The Swimming Cities of Serenissima - about
      The Swimming Cities of Serenissima is a fleet of three intricately hand crafted vessels that will navigate the Adriatic Sea from the Litoral region of Slovenia to Venice, Italy in May of 2009. Designed by the visual artist SWOON, the floating sculptures are descendants of the Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea (Hudson River, 2008) and the Miss Rockaway Armada (Mississippi River, 2006 and 2007). SWOON’s boats are inspired by dense urban cityscapes and thickly intertwined mangrove swamps from her Florida youth. The Swimming Cities of Serenissima are built from salvaged materials, including modified Mercedes car motors with long-tail propellers. The boats’ crew is made up of 30 collaborating artists from the United States.

      The Oddtag map of other venues and collateral events of the 53° Venice Art Biennale 2009 on Google Maps (an in progress mash-up of video, images and Google maps) UPDATE: Iceland pavilion and Mercury House One _ Save the Poetry videos Ok, the Venice Biennale exhibition venues are the Palazzo delle Esposizioni and the national pavilions at the Giardini, as well as the Corderie, the Artiglierie and other venues at the Arsenale. But a lot of VERY interesting venues and events are disseminated all over Venice from 7th June to 22nd November 2009. Probably it's not the most important, famous, visible side of the Biennale. But I feel that it's the best part: have fun discovering Venice places and palazzi and artists and people. I'll be around in the next months making photos, videos, and posts. Hope to see you!

      txt: Alexandre Ponomarev: SubTiziano - RNA Foundation
      Former submariner Alexandre Ponomarev did some reverse engineering: he snuck into that secret and closed area, reclaiming the deadly weapon as an art object. With the aid of chromatism, he transformed a submarine into a medium of artistic interaction, stripping it of its main advantage: secrecy.
      Alexandre Ponomarev - SubTiziano Dates:  June 4 – October 22, 2009 Locations: Ca' Bernardo, Dipartamento di Americanistica, Iberistica e Slavistic dell'Universita di Ca' Foscari - Dorsoduro, 3199, Venezia; Ca' Rezzonico, Fondamenta Rezzonico - Dorsoduro, 3136, Venezia. video: Oleg Chubykin - "The Tourist" on vimeo.com [vimeo http://vimeo.com/2272285]

      txt: At Carpenter Center, Empire Strikes Back - Harvard Gazette
      Paint leaks through the wooden frames of canvases. Ketel One vodka ads can be glimpsed through the clutter. Inside it becomes clear that what you're looking at are the politically charged installations of Guyton/Walker, the Josep Lluis Sert Practitioner in the Arts at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts. The exhibit is called "Guyton/Walker: Empire Strikes Back" and is on display through April 20 [2006]. The disturbing, colorful, eclectic pieces by the collaborative dynamic duo Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker have been called perverse still-lifes. Aptly so.

      Japanese avant-garde group. Gutai Bijutsu Kyokai (Gutai Art Association) was formed in 1954 in Osaka by Yoshihara Jiro, Kanayma Akira, Murakami Saburo, Shiraga Kazuo, and Shimamoto Shozo. The word has been translated into English as 'embodiment' or 'concrete'. Yoshihara was an older artist around whom the group coalesced and who financed it. In their early public exhibitions in 1955 and 1956 Gutai artists created a series of striking works anticipating later Happenings and Performance and Conceptual art.

      ROBERTO CUOGHI - 1973, Modena. Lives and works in Milan txt: ROBERTO CUOGHI - www.praguebiennale.org
      My father always wanted a son. He had me instead, but we share the same name... in fact, on paper I am masculine. When I moved to Rome some ten years ago, I was even called to do my military service, so I reported to the caserma in high heels and a low-cut blouse. My father and I have never been very close, I think it is because he sees a lot of himself in me [...] I heard about Roberto Cuoghi and a piece he was doing in which he became his father.
