Venice 2005: WPS1 Venice Conversations: The Islands of Venice
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (Chief Curator, Castello di Rivoli, Turin, Italy), assembled a panel to discuss a range of projects involving the Venician archipelago. Joining them onboard were artists Jeebesh Bagchi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta (Raqs Media Collective), Monica Narula, Micol Assael, Michelangelo Pistoletto, artist/curator Peter Nagy, and critic/curator Achille Bonito Oliva.
The "Queen of the Adriatic" consists of 117 islands, dissected by 177 canals which in turn are spanned by 408 bridges. A series of barrier islands, including the once posh Lido beach resort, protects the shallow lagoon from the ravages of the Adriatic Sea.
