Among others I visited the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.labiennale.org\/en\/art\/\">Venice biennale<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>There exist meanwhile quite some many good documentations about the Venice biennale in the net (like e.g.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.contemporaryartdaily.com\/tag\/venice-biennale-2009\/\"> here <\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artfagcity.com\/2009\/06\/19\/contemporary-art-daily-covers-the-venice-biennale\/\">art fag city<\/a>) to which I would like to add some subjective observations of my own.<\/p>\n<p>I will start with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russian-pavilion.info\/eng\/default.html\">russian<\/a> and american pavillion in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.labiennale.org\/en\/art\/exhibition\/participations\/\">giardini<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Among others the russian pavillion was featuring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russian-pavilion.info\/eng\/ostretsov.html\">Gosha Ostretsov<\/a> e.g. with a kind of fairytale <a href=\"http:\/\/ru.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%D0%98%D0%B7%D0%B1%D0%B0\">Isba <\/a> with mechanical objects, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russian-pavilion.info\/eng\/shuravlev.html\">Anatoly Shuravlev<\/a> with miniatures (see people looking at them below), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russian-pavilion.info\/eng\/kallima.html\">Alexei Kallima<\/a> with an installation featuring enthusiasm and disappointment of soccer\/sport fans (the soccerfans with the orange soccer ball are visitors) and works from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russian-pavilion.info\/eng\/molodkin.html\">Molodkin<\/a>, of which I somehow didnt take pictures of.<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/wp-content\/2009\/08\/imgp2741russ8450.JPG' alt='imgp2741russ8450.JPG' \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/wp-content\/2009\/08\/imgp2604russ3450.JPG' alt='imgp2604russ3450.JPG' \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/wp-content\/2009\/08\/imgp2628russian1450.JPG' alt='imgp2628russian1450.JPG' \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/wp-content\/2009\/08\/imgp2621russ25450.JPG' alt='imgp2621russ25450.JPG' \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/wp-content\/2009\/08\/imgp2629russ7450.JPG' alt='imgp2629russ7450.JPG' \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/wp-content\/2009\/08\/img2613russ5450.JPG' alt='img2613russ5450.JPG' \/><\/p>\n<p>The russian pavillion featured also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russian-pavilion.info\/eng\/pepperstein.html\">Pavel Pepperstein<\/a> with drawings and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russian-pavilion.info\/eng\/Korina.html\">Irina Korina<\/a> with a giant tower. In the US american pavillion <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naumaninvenice.org\/\">Bruce Nauman<\/a> was under display.
