The Nine Best National Pavilions at the Venice Biennale
Over the weekend, the organizers of the 54th Venice Biennale announced the winner of the highly anticipated Golden Lion award for best national pavilion at the international art summit, with that coveted honor going to Germany for its moving display of work by the late performance artist and inveterate experimentalist Christoph Schlingensief. (German art star Gerhard Richter had criticized the choice of Schlingensief, calling it a "scandal" and an indication of the "decline of painting" — so the prize comes as a serious vindication). But of course, the German show is just one of many dozens of national displays on view in the Giardini and throughout the City of Bridges.

Watch — 'Economy of Desire' featured @ArtwalkTV | "Very important work." "Haunting!" #performance #art #film
Economy of Desire, Chapter III is a short film by Marcus Brooks and Bryan Reyna about the falsity of the fiat money systems and the deceptions of the current economic system.
NOTE FROM KIM:
It's my pleasure to welcome Bryan Reyna to the ArtwalkTV Community. Bryan and I have shared art links on the net since the early days of social media and of course, some of us are connected to him through his work at MoMa.
During exhibition changes and renovation projects at the museum, you have no doubt enjoyed Bryan's behind-the-scenes photography. Now, we are granted the brilliant opportunity to discover his works in short film and performance art.
I find 'Economy of Desire' starkly beautiful and, at times, slightly difficult to watch. If art is to do it's job, then it needs to move you from the inside. In this regard, 'Economy of Desire' is very important work. It's quite visceral. I highly recommend sharing it with your friends, especially those who are interested in art and it's ability to move people and shake things up!
