      [txt] Abu Dhabi to feature at Venice Biennale for first time - The Emirates News Agency WAM
      "Over the past few years Abu Dhabi has developed an ambitious and detailed strategy for promoting and supporting culture and the arts and has made great deal of investment in achieving its initiatives. As a region we are extremely rich in our culture and heritage, both tangible and intangible. We are also totally committed to the cultural education of our children and visitors to the region. Abu Dhabi's presence in Venice during the Biennale is one of the ways in which Abu Dhabi can be really proud of our cultural achievements", Mohamed Khalaf Al-Mazrouei, Director General of ADACH added.

      [txt] Outrage in Venice as giant ads smother cultural jewels - www.guardian.co.uk
      Since the end of August, a vast Lancia car has been parked on the front of the Palazzo Ducale in Venice. A giant Rolex watch has been draped over the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, also in St Mark's Square. And, by the Grand Canal, the facade of the Ca' Rezzonico palazzo has been smothered with an advert for jeans. "We have reached the point at which there is a naked woman - covered only by a bag - on the front of a church," raged Da Mosto.

      [txt] Give young people high culture not hip-hop - Johnson
      Arts chiefs should stop patronising young people by targeting them with hip-hop and movies, and instead offer them access to high culture, Boris Johnson, the London mayor, will say today. [...] It is our job to encourage all manner of artistic expression, in the knowledge that culture is not just an add-on to the necessity of modern politics. For culture to flourish and for people to be creative, we need to be brave with funding and bold in our vision.

      [txt] Japanese Pavilion, The 53rd Venice Biennale 2009 - Japan Foundation Theme: Strolling Party: The Old Young Women Theatre Company (working title) - Commissioner: Hiroshi Minamishima - Artist: Miwa Yanagi
      As if invited along by the old young women, we become a particle of memory traveling through the "past," "present," and "future" of Venice as we begin a wandering journey as a member of the company. ------ 私たちは老少女たちの旅団に誘われるかのように、ヴェネチアの「過去」、「現在」、そして「未来」を旅する記憶の粒子となって、今度は旅団の一員として、さすらいの旅を始めることになる。

      [txt] Venetian traditions - OUR LADY OF GOOD HEALTH - www.turismovenezia.it
      A candle for the Madonna and a coloured balloon for the child; a makeshift bridge of boats across the Grand Canal and a Mass with the mayor acting for a State (unique in Italy) that no longer exists - the Serenissima Republic of Venice. Wafting through the air are fragrances of incense and fritters. The Feast of Our Lady of Good Health, 21 November, is a pleasing mingling of the sacred and the profane, of religious faith and of civic tradition, of liturgy and funfair.

      Venice seen by the others: vaporetto

      [txt] Water World - BU Abroad: A personal account of a semester in Venice
      And to get to our apartments we had to get on the vaporetto, which is a water bus, Venice’s main form of public transportation. It’s kind of cool actually. But we didn’t know what we were doing at this point, and everybody was on the vaporetto that day. I still have not seen it that crowded, because it was raining and nobody wanted to walk, so everybody just crushed onto the water bus. [...] The painting I’m working on is a reenactment of the Last Supper painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Tintoretto, which is in the San Giorgio Maggiore church here in Venice.

      [txt] 5 Tips for Startups and Entrepreneurs - www.readwriteweb.com
      If a simple garage was good enough for Larry Page and Sergey Brin to start goliath search engine Google, it should be good enough for new startups trying to break out at a time when the odds are against them. So the advice of the day? Stop paying $5 for a latte, invest in a basic coffee machine and start innovating.

      [txt] Venice: A city without cars is a marvelous thing - www.theglobeandmail.com
      Venice, in short, needs a new occupation. While tourism will always be the mainstay, there is no reason other than lack of political will and imagination why Venice can't save itself from watery Disneyland status. If I were mayor of Venice, I would be begging a company like Microsoft, Nokia, Research in Motion or Alcatel-Lucent to open a software-design campus in an abandoned palace and watch the neighbourhood come alive and the mask shops disappear.
