- Conceived as part of slovenian artist [b]Tobias Putrih[/b]'s project [url=http://www.venetianatmospheric.com/ ]Venetian, Atmospheric[/url] , the movie theatre built in the garden on the Island of San Servolo (Venice, Italy) will function "both as an architectural project and a sculpture, a viewing machine meant to create and encourage perceptual illusions". The daily screenings will include monographic programmes of artists from the 50s-70s as well as two programmes of contemporary works. Specially worthy of notice is the [b]John Smith[/b] retrospective with the screening of his works [i]Associations[/i] (1975), [i]The Girl Chewing Gum[/i] (1976), [i]Om [/i](1986), [i]The Black Tower[/i] (1985-7), [i]Gargantuan [/i](1992) and [i]Regression [/i](1998-9).[br /]

lol

Marcos, it's fun: I live in Venezia, as you know, and I depend on you to know what happens in my own city. I had no idea of this project!

Chances are I'll manage not to see anything of it (you know how these things work, the more close to you is something the more easy is to miss it - just keep saying "I have all the time to take the boat and go to San Servolo... I'll do it tomorrow..."). Moreover, there's a lot of stuff in Venezia this June: a Bill Viola video at San Gallo ex-church (near San Marco, you know, your homonym :-P), an exhibition called Beuys/Barney at Guggenheim and more performance and art all around the place. If I manage to see something worthy I'll report back!

Thanks again for your work, Enr

You're welcome :). This year's Biennale looks amazing. Don't forget to post about everything you see! I'd love to see "Ocean without a shore". Maybe I should make a short trip to Venice ;)
