The Venice Biennale: Modern and Contemporary Art in Venice

ADFAS Perth presents: The Venice Biennale: Modern and Contemporary Art in Venice.

Venice is one of the world’s great art cities, with its medieval mosaics, Renaissance masterpieces and wonderful collections of modern art. It also has a rolling series of biennales—of art, cinema, architecture, dance and theatre—which take up half of each year, and which have expanded phenomenally since the biennale was invented in Venice in the 1890s.

Join us as Nick Gordon explores how Venice reinvented itself as art’s playground and how the Biennale has grown and reshaping why people keep coming back to this remarkable city. Dr Nick Gordon has a University Medal and PhD in history from the University of Sydney. He also leads cultural and art-focussed tours to Europe and Australia.
