La biennale di Venezia

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Kamča watching glass balls with some pictures in it

The main reason why we went to Venezia were not the heaps of tourists. It was La biennale de Venezia, a modern art exhibition where many states exhibits its contemporary artists. It was really cool. However, I don’t know what to think about the czech presentation. Actually we still share our building with Slovaks. This year, there was nothing. Yes, nothing. Just some plants. Nothing else. We went through twice and we didn’t know what is it. Well, we haven’t seen nothing before. Ok, I like it as a joke. When I think about it, I really like it, but I don’t know if this is the best think to exhibit at the Biennale. Just a note that these are pictures from the first part.

Czechoslovakia (I have nothing against sharing building with Slovaks, but Czechslovakia is kinda over for more than 15 years!)

Anyway, I really liked building of Corea, exhibitions of Uruguay, Russia, Scandinavia, Denmark and Egypt. I think these were the best. Plus the cafeteria (-; Anyway, also have a look at the website of biennale – http://www.labiennale.org.

Calatrava’s bridge

The first thing you would do in Venezia is to cross a new Calatrava’s bridge. It’s been built just couple of months
ago, and it has to be remade again. He just fucked up one thing. The glass is falling down. Hmmm… I wouldn’t expect
anything like that from guy that makes the best bridges in the world… Anyway it’s beautiful, I really like it!

These pictures are from the second and the third day we were in Venezia. The pictures from the biennale are still about
to be prepared.

Venezia – part 1

Saint Marco square

The next day we arrived to Venezia. After we got the accomodation in a camp, we jumped on the bus and headed to the city. The city is nice,
but it’s way too overcrowded. Despite the fact that the most of the city is too touristic, you can still find many streets without anybody.
And it’s also quite expensive as well – about twice more than the rest of places we have been to.
