Philippe Daverio Calls 54th Venice Biennale a 'Popular Luna Park'
In a video interview for Artribune Television, critic Philippe Daverio described the 54th Venice Biennale as a 'popular luna park' divided into two geographical sections: one north of the Gotthard and one further south. He likened the event to a carnival with educational workshops, cannon women, dragons, witch tunnels, sausages, Swiss galleries, village festivals, and parish fairs. The interview was conducted by Anna Saba Didonato in Venice. The article also promotes Artribune's WhatsApp channel and daily newsletter 'Lettera,' and includes a bio for Helga Marsala, an art critic and curator who has taught at the Academies of Fine Arts in Palermo and Rome.
