The Venice Biennale
Their outfits remind me of some of my costume stuff. Snips from a NYT blog:
A city where, at least for a few months, art is everywhere. You cannot escape it if you try. Of course, there is a lot of public art in New York, but during the Biennale, Venice becomes indistinguishable from art. Even the owners of the 287-year-old Caffè Florian in St. Mark’s Square commission contemporary art every two years. This time, one of their gilded rococo middle parlors was turned into what looked like a municipal garage, courtesy of two artists from Turin, Gianfranco Botto and Roberta Bruno. There’s even a table in the parlor for customers, although people tend to stare in, look distressed and search for another place to sit.
