Vennice Biennale Opens

The Venice Biennale opens, this year a confirmation of what’s hot in contemporary art rather than breaking new ground. “More tightly edited than in years past, this Biennale, the 51st, was organized by María de Corral and Rosa Martínez, who reduced the number of artists from some 300 two years ago to about 90.” Some 300,000 people are expected to attend this summer.
