Mark S. Hoffman of the New Cambridge Observer covered the Venice Biennale 2024, a significant art festival featuring over 400 artists. He experienced the frustration of long lines but noted their integral role in understanding the exhibits, particularly at the German Pavilion. There, he encountered innovative displays like a spaceship with spinning blades simulating gravity, a video of a pagan dance transforming into a space theme, and a complex, non-linear narrative that unfolded across multiple floors of the pavilion. Hoffman’s review highlights the intricate and thought-provoking nature of the exhibits, which justify the wait.
