So what’s new for the Venice Biennale in 2010?
One, Kazuyo Sejima is serving as director of this year’s festivities (and the first woman to do so), helming the crowd-friendly theme of “People Meet in Architecture.” Two, it’s about one month earlier than usual — due to a scheduling conflict the press preview starts this week, [...]
