List of Artists for the 2015 Venice Biennale

List of Artists for the 2015 Venice Biennale

Postby CAP » Mon Mar 16, 2015 11:13 am

The list of artists for Okwui Enwezor’s “All the World’s Futures” at the 2015 Venice Biennale has been released. There are 136 selections by the notorious pedant and fop. Needless to say this year’s Ven-Bi promises to be every bit the artistic black hole (sic) that the curator’s Documenta at Kassel in 2002 proved. Given the dross of over-familiar names (highlighted below) that list could probably be at least 35 names fewer. But that still wouldn’t make this flat-footed and superficial selection any more interesting. And I don't see that movie makers of any stripe belong in the fine arts. Venice has a film festival for them. ;)
