Venice Biennale is a glimpse of the future

The greatest contemporary art event in the world kicks off amid a mêlée of artists, collectors and critics

For one week at the start of June every other year Venice is the place where the art world meets the art world — on water-buses and taxis, in bars and restaurants, openings, lunches, dinners and parties. The city on the lagoon becomes a huge networking venue: a unique opportunity to discover who’s in, who’s out, what’s new and what might be the coming thing.

The Venice Biennale, the 53rd edition of which opens to the public for six months from tomorrow, is the greatest contemporary art event in the world. This year it’s the biggest yet and shows no signs of being daunted by the financial downturn, with no fewer than 77 separate exhibitions in the national pavilions. At the previous Biennale, in 2007, at the height of the art boom, I looked at Welsh sculptures and paintings in an abandoned brewery on the island of La Giudecca, blue chip paintings by such patriarchs of the avant-garde as Ellsworth Kelly, Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke, a memorial to a youth made up of a bunch of flowers, a pair of Nike trainers and a handwritten note to “Keep it real” in a special pavilion of African art, and video from virtually every country in the United Nations.
