and Sede Comunal Barrio Venecia, where the Biennale took place.
Last Saturday I was invited as one of the 3 judges of the 7th Bienal de Venecia de Bogota, Venecia being a working class neighbourhood to the south of Bogota, Colombia, where artist Franklin Aguirre has been realizing for the past 15 years a biennial where artists produce work in relation to the neighbourhood. As the biennial was 15 years old this year it was celebrated with a traditional Quinceañera party, where 15 girls of the neighbourhood who turned 15 this year were invited to celebrate their birthday in a grand party. Artists participating submitted projects which related to the quinceañeras and to the party! The exhibition was a party which was an exhibition which was a biennale.
Happy 15 Venice Biennale of Bogota!
