Around the (art) world in 14 days

Vernissage of the Hong Kong Art Fair featuring light installations by Dan Flavin

The team at [art]iculate is just back from a whirlwind tour of some of the best contemporary visual art around the world taking in the Hong Kong Art Fair and the vernissage week of the 53rd Venice Biennale with a stopover at a few London galleries in between.

Highlights in Venice included Christian Marclay's 24 hour clock film collage in the Arsenale, Maurizio Cattelan's taxidermy pigeons peppered throughout the main Biennale Illuminazioni exhibition, tropical print military uniforms in the Korean pavilion, Urs Fischer's life-size, slow-melting wax figures and a wonderfully techno coloured light and perspex work by Gino Marotta in the Italian pavilion.
