Art Trip: Venice Biennale | The Art Assignment | PBS Digital Studios

Behold the 2017 Venice Biennale. Called the "olympics of the art world," the exhibition invades historic (and tourist clogged) Venice, Italy, every two years, and has since 1895. Contemporary art abounds, with installations and exhibitions occupying the city's Giardini and Arsenale, as well as art venues throughout the city. And yes, we ate plenty of gelato and rode in a gondola. To support our channel, visit: http://www.patreon.com/artassignment.
