Biennale runs until 24 November 2019. Was it two years ago that Quinn did the stunning installation of the hands holding up the building on the Grand Canal? That installation got so much attention that it was held on for several months.

I know nothing about the Biennale, though it occurs every two years. I stumbled on this quote just now:

The Venice Biennale is often referred to as the art-world Olympics. Countries from around the world descend on the Italian city to show off the best contemporary art their country has to offer—and to compete to win the coveted Golden Lion for best national pavilion. Around 90 countries participated this year, a record high.
