Documenta 12

Two days here and 6 miles walked. This is a show that smacks of political statements--from the 1001 Chinese people and chairs who were brought here by Ai Weiwei, to his monumenal sculpture of doors and houses from qing and ming dynasties; to photographs of political uprisings in the congo; to incense burned in the Neue Gallerie and positioned on a raised, flat space. I could go on and on.

We were blown away by the Pavilion--one of four venues where art is displayed.

But getting access to a computer and sending photographs is almost beyond me. You will have to wait for the photos until I get home.

Tomorrow we get to Venice. And is computers are more available, I will post our impressions of the Biennale.
