At Venice Biennale, art that murmurs rather than shouts
After the artists, dealers, critics and hedge fund guys jetted off last weekend to shop in Basel and check out Documenta, the big show in Germany, it became easier to tell whether the 52nd version of the Venice Biennale was really as much of a bore as it seemed.
It's not. Quite. It's subtle and sober. And yes, maybe it's just a little boring.
But it can grow on you. What's always glorious about this oldest of the international festivals - aside, of course, from the simple fact that it's here (passing disappointments of art somehow wafting away on the sea breezes) - is its unruliness. It's an Italian thing. This means there is never really just one biennale but many of them, all mixed up, and you're free to like or kvetch about any or all of them.
A commissioner - this time, the former Museum of Modern Art curator, Robert Storr - deals with the crazy bureaucracy and is responsible for the main exhibition. As in the past, that show divides itself between the Italian Pavilion in the Giardini Publici, the biennale's traditional base, and the Arsenale, the former rope factory nearby, whose traversal, even when everything is as compulsively well-ordered as it is now, invariably feels like a forced march.
VENICE-Paradise Lost is the ideal name for an exhibit in "the first Roma Pavilion" in the 110-year history of the Venice Biennale. It's a lonely place now that the art world's movers and shakers have moseyed on in their grand tour of European contemporary art hot spots, or have simply dragged themselves back home, exhausted.
For one thing, the pavilion � actually the grimy Palazzo Pisani, a vast pile of weathered stone nearly lost in labyrinthine back alleys � represents a fiction. With its collection of artists from eight European democracies, Paradise Lost is an exhibition, angry and hugely alive, of a boundary-defying culture, "otherwise known as Gypsy," as a spokesperson explains. Like, what paradise? "Imagine," goes a pamphlet available at the door, "you board a bus and all the other passengers grab onto their wallet(s)."
