VENICE ENCOUNTERS


Venice Encounters was a research project that aimed to analyze the 2018 Venice Biennale. The project included a series of happenings based on the “blind date”  format. Pairs of different curators and participants attending the Biennale Press Preview followed routes across the interiors and surroundings of the Giardini and Arsenale, engaging in critical but informal conversations that were registered and previewed at the Emily Harvey Foundation, Venice.
