This week Democracy Now! is reporting live from the Venice Biennale, the oldest and most prestigious international art exhibition. This year’s exhibition is called, “All the World’s Futures.”But according to Venice-based artist Marco Baravalle of S.a.L.E. docks, an independent space for arts and cultural production, the Biennale is not for everyone. “The Biennale is a very rich institution. And the Biennale generates a large amount of labor, but this labor is precarious or is largely unpaid,” said Baravalle. “The S.a.L.E. Docks is creating an alternative model of a pavilion, in which it is basically the city and the people working for the city, and in which the labor is fairly paid.”For more coverage of the Venice Biennale, tune in to DemocracyNow.org. -- source link
