  • Behold the 2017 Venice Biennale. Called the "olympics of the art world," the exhibition invades historic (and tourist clogged) Venice, Italy, every two years, and has since 1895. Contemporary art abounds, with installations and exhibitions occupying the city's Giardini and Arsenale, as well as art venues throughout the city. And yes, we ate plenty of gelato and rode in a gondola.

    I don't know why I'm so emotional today, but I had to pause the video twice, because the message of an artwork almost made me cry. The mute howls and the stamp that declares one 'only human'... I've seen so much bullshit recently that seeing art that tries to make the world a better place is so refreshing. And that was only a small clip on youtube, I wish I had been there for real.

  • @saoirseryan6355
    @saoirseryan6355 6 лет назад +44

    your commentary brings such depth to the shown art. for me art is 40% what you see in the gallery and 60% the story behind it. these videos help me connect with the works.

    • @skkp5954
      @skkp5954 4 года назад

      Exactly! I've recently realized I enjoy better reading the process and the meaning behind artworks that I see. That is why I get quite upset when some galleries do not take the time to explain artworks on display.

It looks like an incredible showing, and I appreciate your added insight as well. I hope you enjoyed your experience as much as I did!

    I was in London last week for an academic seminar, and decided to forgo the beaten tourist track for some of the Art Trip: London video locations, it was a marvelous experience. I saw the current Serpentine pavilion, the Tate Modern (my now favorite art gallery in the world), the Courtauld, the Whitechapel... I feel privileged to have been guided into these by you.

    • @theartassignment
      @theartassignment  6 лет назад +3

      So cool! Very glad to hear this. I sometimes feel uneasy about advertising these places with exhibitions and installations that are always changing (and are in fact frequently gone by the time we post about them!). But you make a fine point that the places we usually feature have consistently excellent programming and are always worth a visit. Thanks for watching!

    You should do an art trip to Lubbock, Texas. Although "Keep Lubbock Boring" is an unofficial slogan of the town, we actually have an interesting art scene. Texas Tech has a great deal of public art available on campus. We also have the LHUCA museum, which sponsors the First Friday Art Trail, a monthly art event that spans much of downtown.

    What a fantastic recap of the biennale! Yet I can’t believe you missed “Intuition”! We went exhibit hopping for a whole week in Venice (late aug) and it was our absolute favorite

    • @theartassignment
      @theartassignment  6 лет назад +1

      Oh I know! It's is a tragedy of epic proportions. For those who may use this in planning a visit, this is referring to the temporary exhibition at Palazzo Fortuny, curated by Axel Vervoordt and Daniela Ferretti. For sure worth a visit!

  • @KannikCat
    @KannikCat 6 лет назад +1

    Yay, field trip! :D Wow, so much great work, so much great installation art, plus Alvar Aalto and the lovely backdrop of Venice itself. And the Mending Project really (and unexpectedly) hit me in the heart, something very moving about it. Wonderful video, makes me intent on visiting Venice during a Biennale sometime. (Though hard to choose between an Architecture or Art Biennale...)
    Also I wholeheartedly agree about stepping out from the "usual" piazzas and canals to explore the back alleys; my dad got us lost when we were last in Venice and it turned out to be wonderful to see much of the "unvarnished" portions of the city, which turned out to be not so unvarnished and full of life. :)
    I was very excited to see both this video and its length, and it did not disappoint. Thank you!

    Thank you for this lovely travelogue of the event. Visiting the Biennale has been on the bucket list for some time, and this has done nothing to persuade me. The piece Pillars by EJ Hill was particularly intriguing, as I'm working on a series about the intersection of theme parks and art, and someone once asked if roller-coasters counted as art.

    • @theartassignment
      @theartassignment  6 лет назад +4

      I used to worry about John making videos while we are making videos, but then I stopped because there's we do indeed always focus on different things. I admit I have held back from on-site commentary, in some cases, so he doesn't steal my interpretations!

      @sara_sah-raezzat5086 6 лет назад

    This channel is becoming my travel planning channel. My wife and I are now planning a trip to Marfa, TX for late October, thanks to your previous video. And even though we were in Venice during the 2011 Biennale (though somehow we managed to spend five days there, stumble across lots of great art on display, but not realize that the Biennale was actually going on), I can see we'll be going back. You know, to see it _on purpose_..
    So thanks for that! Where am I going in the meantime?

      Even after 3 full days of art viewing there, we still missed a ton. Greatly regretting that we didn't see this Tehching Hsieh show: ruclips.net/video/b7p3w-v9nlk/видео.html

    • @remokortbeek
      @remokortbeek 6 лет назад

      That show is amazing. When I was visiting the Biennale for my Curatorship studies we were lucky enough to speak the curator of Hsieh's exhibition. His stories were personal and insightful and gave a great look at how to work with an artist like Tehching Hsieh.

    I love the idea of the medieval meeting the innovative. I came to appreciate Venice even more after reading Roger Crowley's book City of Fortune.... But you know I'm more of a medievalist than you. It's also the type of city that shouldn't be a human habitat at all, which often results in a city accepting of innovative ideas. While researching for a video I have on the horses in St Mark's square I had lots of thoughts about the interactions of the city with the works displayed there. Thanks for this.

    Hi Sarah, did you have an opportunity to see the work of Khadija Saye? She was a young British artist of Gambian heritage whose work was being shown at the Venice Biennale for the first time. Tragically she died in the Grenfell Tower fire in London in June. Her photographic work is very striking. I think it is currently being exhibited at Tate Britain in the UK. Such a sad loss.

    • @29Bodhisattva
