And I'm doing my best to blend in. That means that you have to sit in an outdoor cafe and order a Spritz, which is The Drink here. It's made with Aperol, which sounds like something you might pour into a car's engine but is actually a botanical product, and Prosecco...served with an orange slice and an olive on a stick. It's too sweet for my taste, but undeniably pretty.
Today I finally got to the Biennale. There are two main venues: the Giardini and the Arsenale. I started with the Giardini, which is a huge park filled with separate/unique pavilions built years ago by various countries. We have one, as well as Great Briton, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, South Korea, Germany, Spain, etc. Here is a bit of what I saw:
These sculptures were all made with things that had been thrown away
The following are stills from a video showing the artist moving his paintings, a LOT of them, via high-wire over a deep gorge
These sculptures all contain pantyhose as their main components
I will leave you with this gem....isn't it perfect??
