Another view of the Prince piece. You can see that she chose different shades of paper--presumably to represent race. War and artistic responsibility. That is what one writer said about works at the Arsenale. Prince certainly took this responsibility seriously. The painstaking nature of the task--added to by each day's news--must be numbing.
Since I haven't been to the Biennale before, I did not know what to expect. But given the type of space--indoors, not air conditioned, removed from most of the pavilions, I was not surpised that the art was different than what we saw in Giardini. Supposedly this venue houses art that is more lively. And although I saw some different things here, I couldn't call it lively.
