Postcards from the swamp: Tales of horror and decadence from Venice Biennale (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798776463570)

Venice Biennale of contemporary art is one of the world's most renowned art exhibitions. Started in 1895, it attracts artists and visitors from all continents. This book is a firsthand account of what the exhibition is really like. It tells of the neglect and the greed that lurk behind the curtain of glamour raised to protect and promote its image. It is a counter-narrative that sheds light to the appalling working conditions of the lumpenproletariat of the art world and brings to the fore the incompetence of art professionals and the boorishness of today's exhibition-goers.
