Venice, Part IV : More exhibitions

'The Cloud of Unknowing' is a video installation by Ho Tzu Nyen, an artist representing Singapore in the Biennale. 

I walked into the room with trepidation, really not knowing what to expect. There were these enormous bean bags scattered all over the place and a projector screen which reminded me of being in a classroom. Turns out we had to lie on these huge bean bags to watch the installation. So comfy. If they weren't so big and conspicuous, I would have happily picked one of these babies up and taken it home with me. Ha.

We also went to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum. Old Peggy was a very wealthy women indeed. All the pieces in the museum were part of her personal art collection. Jealous, much? Yes! I want an extensive art collection that consists of numerous masterpieces too! I got to see some Picasso, (more) Dali, Ernst, Modigliani, Pollock and so many more that I would bore you by listing them. 

This is my favourite piece at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum- "Alchemy" by Jackson Pollock. No picture can do this painting justice.  When I had done my rounds of the museum, I found myself going back to it and just staring at its splendor for a little bit longer. Wow. 

And that is the end of Venice. Next up- Florence! But first, lectures for the day. Bleh.
