FROM THE STUDIO — THE BIENNALE THROUGH AN ARTIST'S EYES
The Biennale is usually explained by an art historian — from the outside, from the position of an expert. This tour is built differently: it's led by a working artist active on the Venetian scene — someone who makes the work and shows it themselves. You read the Biennale not from a textbook but from inside the craft: how a piece is made, from what, where the real risk is and where it's mere posture; what a work cost its maker, and why some gestures land while others fall apart. You choose the venue — Arsenale or Giardini; the lens stays personal and honest.
Your privileges
- A maker's eye not a retelling of art history, but a reading from someone who stands at the easel themselves.
- Venue of your choice Arsenale or Giardini, by your interest.
- Honest criticism where the risk and discovery are, and where it's merely a fashionable move — the kind of thing said rarely, and only among one's own.
- Private, at an unhurried pace.
A historian will tell you what hangs on the wall. I'll tell you why it's made exactly that way — and what it cost the maker. Because I've walked the same road: from an empty canvas to a wall where strangers stand and look back at you.

Frequently asked
How is this different from a standard tour?
It's led by a working artist rather than a historian: fewer dates and biographies, more about how art is made and what's alive in it.
Can I choose the venue?
Yes — Arsenale or Giardini, as you prefer.
Is it suitable for a newcomer?
Yes. It's not about difficulty but depth: the artist will explain the basics just as clearly, simply from the other side.
