Garance blogs about her time at the 2011 Venice Bienalle of Art. Last september after working with UN HABITAT in Wroclaw Poland I had a few days left in Europe and took a last minute flight to Bologna where I visit a friend. From Bologna I made the best decision of my trip to take the day, hop on a train to Venice and visit the Architecture Biennale. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. One of my favorite Italian experiences. I wandered the streets (getting lost running away from the crowds of tourists) finding myself walking down residential alleys surrounded by canals, aaah it was a dream.
Anyway what was incredible was the Biennale venu, an old ship yard reinvigorated for this brilliant annual event. The ancient architecture and stunning surrounding together with the juxtaposition of these contemporary exhibitions is what makes the experience so incredible.
What I want to say in the end is I saw Garance's post and.. I think I HAVE to go again this year.
Ill keep you updated. Im thinking Septemeber or October. Lucky its 4 months long.
