Shen Jingdong was Here
Fun installation at the Giardino Bianco Art Space in Venice by Chinese artist Shen Jingdong put on by VeniceArtFactory during the Biennale. Taking up the whole of this ground floor space the show consisted of a series of large yellow balloons with a comical faces on surrounded by paintings of children with large wide eyes evidently a characteristic style of his. You could also add to a graffiti style wall of comments. It was nice to find such a fun space as my first experience of the contemporary art around Venice while the Biennale is on. Not all shows were as cheerful as this. I’m not too sure what it meant but it made me smile. Closes 24 November 2019
