The Nina Menocal Gallery's review of the Venice II Biennale! If you did not go read Nina's insights!

 Fun insights to read by Nina, Menocal about her trip to Venice. . 

Souvenirs from Venice II, Warhol of Arabia and postcards from the flea market Spain pavilion, a journey around the world, babies everywhere, Japan pavilion I liked Warhol of Arabia at the Venice Biennale ; I found it hilarious that he refused to travel in Economy Class. Well, it finally arrived, and they've already given it a big exhibition; they've put on his iconic Marilyn Monroe and Mao Zedong works. I loved the Spanish Pavilion ; it was like a journey around the world through postcards found at a flea market—birds, flowers, butterflies, all that life is. It covered hall after hall with postcards; a lovely idea, very well done, a beautiful installation. READ MORE  https://ninamenocalhistories.blogspot.com/
