How To Enjoy The Venice Biennale 2024
30.04.2024 - 21:51 / forbes.com
It’s a Biennale time in Venice, aka the Art Olympics, an every-two-year event where La Serenissima’s 118 islands are almost entirely dedicated to contemporary art from countries and artists around the world. What started out as small art fair in the Giardini, Venice’s public park, has turned into a six-month, all-island, non-stop blockbuster art fest of exhibitions in palaces, galleries, public spaces, and, of course, the Giardini and Arsenale. This year’s 60th Venice Biennale Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere brings it on strong with 331 artists, 88 national pavilions and 30 collateral events, not to mention other pop ups. That’s a lot of art to take in, and a lot of ground to cover. After years of visiting the Biennale as press and also including time working at the US Pavilion, I’ve finally figured out the best way to navigatee Venice Biennale.
From now through November 24, the 60th Venice Biennale Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere is everywhere all at once. The theme plays on the idea of place and identity wherever you are, and maybe even is a sly nod to mass tourism, but it’s up to the artists. With the main exhibition taking place in two venues - the Giardini (the island’s large park where you’ll find individual country pavilions) and the Arsenale, Venice’s former ship arsenal which hosts a large group show in its Corderie, and country pavilions, collateral events and exhibitions popping up in every sestiere, I’ve have a few suggestions on how to enjoy the Biennale.
What I am always asked is if it is necessary to purchase a multi-ticket ( a pass which allows unlimited entry to Giardini and Arsenale over a period of days). If you have to see every pavilion and every work of art, then, yes, because you’ll need at least one day in each venue. Otherwise, my suggestion is to get a single pass and compress both venues into a one day experience, so that you can take advantage of walking around Venice to visit any collateral event that catches your eye.
With that in mind, here’s my list of pavilions and exhibitions not to miss.
Golden Lion winner for Best Pavilion. First Nation artist Archie Moore created an installation that is a tribute to Australia's First Nations people while examining colonialism.Center is a table with hundreds of redacted documents tracking the historic incarceration of First Nations people, while on the surrounding black walls is a massive hand-written family tree spanning 24000 generations and 65,000 years.
Shawky’s Drama 1882 is a film rendition of an original musical play directed, choreographed, and composed by Shawky about Egypt’s nationalist Urabi 1879-82 uprising against imperial influence. Operatica and mesmerising, Shawky’s set, colours and composition

Watery, Peaceful, Wild: The Call of the Mangroves
It was a sunny afternoon in February at the height of the high season on the Caribbean island of Curaçao, but my partner, Aaren, and I were far from lounging on a white-sand beach, snorkeling over a coral reef or strolling among the Easter-egg-colored buildings of Willemstad, Curaçao’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site — typical activities for travelers to this former Dutch colony.
