Venice Biennale 2019.


Here's a small selection of what's on offer in Venice this year, much of it rather pretentious.

    Some of that was awful, some weird and some I enjoyed. Wouldn't mind walking through there just to see it though, and linger where I wanted to. Terrific variety and imagination.

      The problem (if that's what it is) these days is that they have an idea, then get someone else to make it. There is very little 'hands on' work on show, and I rather miss that. I think I'd rather vivit the RA Summer show in London.

    I try to see something in modern art, but usually fail. I have decided to stop trying. If it works for me, good, but I no longer try.

      I see nothing wrong with that; I do much the same.

    so much is obtuse...if you are trying to convey a message there is no point in that...

      Or, at least try to make it attractive.

      agreed...then at least the viewer might want to make an effort to understand!

    Not my thing I'm afraid. At least it seens that I am not alone in that, from reading the previous comments.

    Thanks for the "visit" - glad I only spent that short amount of time on it from the comfort of my chair.

    That's not the main exhibition. The video was shot in the old dockyards of the Arsenal. The most impressive thing in there is the Armstrong Crane and views of the the buildings and docks from the outside. The main exhibition is held in the biennale gardens which where each country has own unique pavilion. Interesting pavilions to visit would usually include Britain, Korea, Japan, Russia, Hungary, France, Israel, Venezuela, Italy. Last year the British pavilion staff served 4 o'clock tea on the roof of their pavilion which offers fine views over the lagoon.

      I'm afraid it was the only video I could find.

    Derivative. Does no one have original thoughts anymore? It made me sad. :-(

    The clip was as long as I wanted to spend viewing so served a purpose for me. A lot of weird stuff!

    You know more about art than I do, but I would have to agree.
