La Biennale di Venezia’s 53rd International Art Exhibition — with the theme “Making Worlds” — opened on 7 June with around 90 participating artists in the main exhibition (and a record number of participating countries: 77). The show runs through 22 November 2009.
Just came across this blog with an unusual focus: Prison Photography (The Practice of Photography in Sites of Incarceration). It contains some striking historic and current photographs, of and about prisons, and interesting commentary and posts.
