Chris Kraus, Venice Pavilions, Rina Banerjee
Our favorite national pavilions at the Venice Biennale, Shirley Tse and Dana Berman Duff’s breathing moons, and Dean Millien’s aluminum-foil animal world.
Rina Banerjee's Venice Pavilions drew my attention as I reflected on Aruba's mention in a subway ad. The Caribbean island's connection to the Netherlands and its colonial past weighed on my mind. As I grappled with these thoughts, I recalled the power and beauty of solidarity I experienced during Venice's biennale in May. The espressos and sweet lemon soda with lemon slices that accompanied my visit only added to the experience.
Venturing into the fall, I believe there's no better time to immerse oneself in the biennale's offerings.
