Venice Biennale 2011 Wallchart
The Venice Biennale 2011 Wallchart is the first of an on-going series of planners replacing Sport with Art. The VBW offers the reader the opportunity to digest the Biennale by using a cheap, disposal but collectable format, recalling the football comics of my youth Match and Shoot and the tabloid newspapers pull-out guides, allowing for an apparently fair and unprejudiced evaluation of the individual nation’s pavilions. Or so it would be if the nations weren’t grouped in tables of four with those countries they have the most political, social or historical problems and conflicts with.
VBW is part of a larger body of work that is taking the worlds of football and art and showing their inherent similarities. For example, in the rapid rise of capitalism evident in both worlds over the last 50 years, comparing player transfers and fine art acquisitions. Seeing how little the Global Financial Crisis affected the elite worlds of art and football inspired the Football series.
Are you traveling to Venice this year? Why not visit the Venice Biennale?
And what better way to be fully prepared for the big art off than downloading a brilliant Venice Biennale 2011 Wallchart.
It has a full schedule of all the participating nations, their representative artists, venues for the group stages, and spaces for you to fill in the knockout rounds once the Biennale kicks off on June 4th 2011.
While you are in Venice, what else do you need?
Art? We've got it covered!
As you traverse the Giardini and Arsenale simply fill your scores for each national pavilion. Score the opposing nations against one another in each group.
Remember Art is subjective!
Then onto the knock out stages. Now it's each country against the other in their respective knock out round. e.g. The winners of Group A, B, C and D against one another.
Remember to compare their merits conceptually, relationally and give special consideration to their processes and use of materials!
Once through the knockouts it's the Hexa Finals! The last six teams battle it out against one another with only the three highest scoring nations going onto the Tricycle final!
In the Tricycle final score each nation against one another. Don't forget no previous scores count. Make sure you return to all three national pavilions and be your own judge of who wins this year's Golden Lion.
