As featured by Ben Lewis in his TateShots video of the 2011
Venice Biennale, (http://www.tate.org.uk/contextcomment/
video/tateshots-venice-biennale-2011), The Biennial
Project mobilizes a posse of shit-kicking international artists for
Bizarre Artist Happenings. Expect a rousing good time with
The Biennial Project’s cast of loonies, ne’er-do-wells, circus freaks,
sex-workers, debutantes, opium-smoking rich eccentrics, aging hippies, pill popping
Moms, gender rebels, lumberjacks, the gays, cold-hearted euro trash, dreadlocked trustifarians, horny Boy Scouts, gamers and burners, addicts and of course "’Americas' Next Top Models’.
This far-ranging show includespainting, photography, video, multi-media,
installation and of course the performative antics the world has come to
expect from The Biennial Project, such as:
- The US Introduction of The Biennial Project's signature perfume, Star of
Venice, designed by artist Samantha Marder.
-An elegant portrait of The Biennial Project’s shoes by Maine painter Kelly
Jo Shows.
- "Death in Venice," a moving photo essay on the water burial of The
Biennial Project’s effigies in the Venetian canals staged as part of the
2011 Venice Biennale and produced by noted Australian artist Marlene
Sarroff.
- Participatory Artistic Focus Groups, organized by The Biennial Project
Head of Marketing and Research, Michael St.Germain.
