Pilar Zeta Navigates the Beautiful Absurdity of Venice Biennale
Pilar Zeta navigates the Venice Biennale, offering her perspective on several standout exhibitions. She praises Anish Kapoor's show at Palazzo Manfrin as the strongest at the Biennale, describing it as a psychological distortion of space through mirrors and voids. She also highlights Antonio Canova's tomb at the Frari Basilica as a quiet counterpoint to Biennale excess, Marina Abramović's participatory exhibition at the Gallerie dell'Accademia, Jan Fabre's theatrical installation at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, and an unnamed Dadaist performance blurring art and reality in the streets.
