Venice Biennale
The Venice Biennale opened yesterday! 77 countries pick one artist to represent them; it’s like the Olympics of the art world. The artist gets an entire building, or pavilion (USA’s is pictured above), to work inside. Awards are handed out and everything. It’s pretty amazing. This year Canada is represented by Mark Lewis, who works in video.
