"As the youngest curator to direct the Venice Biennale in more than a hundred years, Gioni will test his gritty-yet-glamorous approach to modern art when the prestigious fair opens this summer. His International Exhibition, titled "The Encyclopedic Palace," takes its name from a project by 20th-century outsider artist Marino Auriti, an eccentric self-taught architect and philosopher manqué who devoted years of his life to the construction of a gigantic skyscraper-temple that would house the combined wisdom of the human race." - Adriano from Bookmarklet

"Creativity is in fact flourishing untrammeled in the applied arts, above all industrial design. Over the past 20 years, I have noticed that the most flexible, dynamic, inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world—which, like it or not, is modern reality. [P]eople today are avidly immersed in a hyper-technological environment, where their primary aesthetic experiences are derived from beautifully engineered industrial design." - Adriano from Bookmarklet

"For the first time at the Guggenheim Museum, the exhibition is not mounted on its winding ramp; instead, Cattelan has designed a site-specific installation. Virtually everything created by the artist since 1989 dangles from the large oculus, chaotic and seemingly random. There are no labels or wall texts, only a large foldout map identifying the names and dates of each sculpture, with each turn up the ramp revealing new views and details."
