Venice Biennale:  Brazilian Pavilion – Registros + (Ex) Tensoes y Pontos.  The work of a single artist, Artur Barrio was chosen to represent Brazil, in order to offer a full immersion in his art, alive and pulsating, and his worldview.  In the first room we have Registros: words, photographs and videos of precedent artworks.  In the second room there is his new site-specific artwork.  Like this crate of rotting fish in salt.
