Biennale BEST OF SHOW

Jen and I learning to fly as per Felix Gonzales-Torres in said Pavillion! We made fun of everyone walking around with their free posters until we realized they were from FGT and there we were dragging around our booty, the full effect of the "infectious" intentions of his posthumous pieces.






















Dartboards en masse. There were kids gong crazy in this pavillion, zig-zagging amongst flying sharp implements?!








The Russian collective AES+F has blown our dual mind with this apocolyptic computer-generated stop-motion style vision of a purgatorial melange of a world. Not usually my thing, but Jen and I were thoroughly impressed and dumbstruck. I just read 'Oryx and Crake' by Margaret Atwood which, in combination with this piece, have left me with a melancholy, sci-fi and sensitive frame of reference for seeing through! That and Limoncetta have promoted many a rousing conversation over Gin Rummy and sunsets over the canals.





The skeletal frame of Jerry (as in Tom and Jerry) in full pounce mode, from HyungKoo Lee at the Korean Pavillion.
