The Ever-Evolving Venice Biennale
"Few glimpses are left of [the Venice Biennale's] imperial past, where it was still believed that culture might be stamped with a national identity - or vice versa. Confronting nationalism now means a walk across the lawn fronting the bone-dry white façade of the Brazilian pavilion, only to be confronted by an impossibly skinny Japanese transvestite teetering around on elevator shoes posing for Egyptian tourists."
