Just back from a weekend in Venice for the Biennale. We arrived in the early afternoon on Friday and had a wander, checking out some very excellent Irish video art. We stopped for a spritz (pictured), then wandered some more, and went for dinner at a place recommended by a colleague of Steven's whose mom wrote the book on eating in Venice. I had lamb with blueberries - YUM! On Saturday we got up early and did a speed tour of the WHOLE Biennale (both Giardini and Arsenale). Sophie Calle's installations about her mom and her break-up were highlights. Back at our hotel, we enjoyed a bottle of wine on the terrace of our "junior suite" before heading off to dinner at the fish market owner's restaurant. Sunday morning we did a little shopping, then shared a taxi to the airport with Bob & Chris, a couple from White Plains who were on their first overseas trip.
