Biennale di Venezia, François Pinault Collection and maybe more...

 

I sincerly apologize... Visiting Venice without your girlfriend IS a bad idea...

 

beautiful during day time

 

or the sunset

 

now I know it...

 

Welcome to Venezia

 

Another fabulous thing about Venice is how they cover buildings during construction work...

 

This is the GUESS Palazio

 

 

The REPLAY museo

 

 

 

The Puente del GEOX 

 

Anyway, my plan was to go there to see the Venice Biennale, major contemporary art exhibition that takes place once every two years (thx wikipedia).

 

 

Japanese Pavillon: giant picture frames

 

 

Scandinavian pavillon: the crib of a 50-year old gay writer

 

 

A couple of random pieces of art..

 

A tree (made of wood bricks)

 

 

 

 Boat people

 

A rainbow

 

One micro x 12

 

A hole in the wall

 

 

 A projector

 

 

A cafeteria

 

 

Killing two birds with one stone, this was also an opportunity to discover Francois Pinault's great art collection also exhibited in Venice at the beautiful Punta della Dogana and Palazio Grassi.

 It is really worth it. Unfortunately, no pics are allowed but I could snap these:

 

- extracts of the brilliant work from Rob Pruitt

 

 

 

 

 More ot the Rob Pruitt's 101 art ideas you can do yourself

 

This piece by Piotr Uklanski is titled "Dancing Nazis"

 220 pictures of nazis (or actors playing nazis), a huge color dancefloor and loud hip hop music

 

 

And on the street...

 

 

 

 

Kripoe, the German street artist and his yellow fists

 

 and André and his Mr. A

 

 ===========================================================

Never overestimate the quality of picture taken by a random tourist in a tourist spot....

The guy I asked could have taking something like this

 

or like this

 

 

But when I asked for a nice picture with the full background, I got this

 

 ....

 

And le meilleur pour la fin....
