      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.

      Pairs of trees, planted 1.2 meters apart from each other, distributed among the office area, residential area, and production area of the Siemens VDO (Huizhou) Company ' s new factory complex. Perhaps my description of this work can only go that far.

      Spanish Pavillion David Bestué born in Barcelona, Spain, 1980 Marc Vives born in Barcelona, Spain, 1978 They live and work in Barcelona txt: Bestué / Vives: Cisnes y Ratas - vernissage.tv on youtube
      In La Confirmación, Bestué / Vives invite the visitors to tour a film set with different scenes that only make sense when they watch a video at the end of the installation. Acciones en el Universo is also a journey, a tour through different rooms a arranged like a tunnel of horrors that is meant to disorient visitors and invite them to participate in the most ambitious project of all, to intervene in the Universe itself.

      "Lapses" - Artists: Banu Cennetoglu, Ahmet Ogut - Curator: Basak Senova txt: Lapses - www.venicebiennial-turkey.org
      In this context, "Lapses" consists of projects that demonstrate how the perception of "occurring events" can vary and lead to differing narrations of history because of lapses in collective memory - which is composed both by the media and by other surrounding environmental data.

      KRISTINA NORMAN After-War Palazzo Malipiero, San Marco 3079, Venezia txt: "After-War" at the 53rd International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia - Center for Contemporary art Estonia
      Using the concept of a memory community, Kristina Norman describes and analyses past events and proposes subsequent cultural practice. The title of the work "After-War" is a reference to the idea that the war is over, but the conflict still continues.
