The Biennial Project V.I.P. Opening Reception for the 54th Venice Biennale and Awards Presentation for the 2011 Boston Online Biennial is a smashing success!!

It all began, innocently and calmly enough, on a peaceful Sunday evening in the lovely hidden garden of a beautiful pallazo….

But the quiet would not last for long…….

And before you knew it, the fabulous V.I.P. glitterati-filled gala was in full swing!!!!

Old Friends were re-aquainted….

                                                                                                                                                                               New Alliances were formed….

And, yes, even recipes were exchanged!!

Perhaps the highlight of the evening was when The Biennial Project announced

with much fanfare--to the anticipatory masses that were gathered…

The Winners of the 2011 Inaugural Boson Online Biennial

—including the First Place Winner, Hans van Meeuwen!!!

In fact…..we would say that all in all it was a Good Timin’, Wine Guzzling (44 liters to be exact!), Hob-Nobbing, Uber-Networking, Seen-And-Be-Seen-Old-Fashioned-Throw-Down-Of-Party-Until-The-Clothes-Came-Off (more on that in our NEXT blog post!!!) Extravagana---the likes of which has not been seen since the days of yore when the founding mothers and fathers of Venice first dug out the canals and threw up the grandest palazzos!   There were Tate-showin’ artists and critics, collectors, and curators galore all engrossed in scintillating debates over the hottest theoretical art issues of the day!                                 

Hell…we didn’t know the half of what was going on by the end of the evening….

BUTT…..

we do know of one very special little hi-jinx….

and you’ll have to tune in next time to find out!!!
