Guffwatch - Biennale 2013
June 10 2013
Video: Biennale Channel
Here's a video about the US pavilion at the Biennale, which I found to be one of the more pointless ones. Note how all the usual Guff genericisms trip off the tongue, especially the use of opposites, which are useful because they allow you to say pretty much anything:
...this experiance of intimacy in a very public space
...it seems like it's an accumulation of found objects and random, but in fact it's carefully studied, it's almost like a poem on many levels...
...it's about the organic growth of things, and also their detrioration...
...there's this mesmeric beauty that is inevitable with a pendulum, but there's this constant anxiety of the potential for something to go wrong...
Regular readers may be surprised to hear that there were a number of pavilions I liked very much, such as those of Belgium, Spain and Germany. More on my trip to Venice soon...
Update - a reader says the above approach is not dissimilar to the fashionista inteviewed by Sacha Baron Cohen here.
