The Venice Beach Biennial, part of "Made in L.A. 2012" organized by the Hammer Museum in collaboration with LA•Art, starts tomorrow on Ocean Front Walk. The inaugural Biennial is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the “real” Venice Biennale in Italy. The event will use Ocean Front Walk as an outdoor exhibition venue.

Over the course of the weekend, nearly 50 fine artists will set up vending stands alongside veteran boardwalk artists, exhibiting new bodies of work, collaborating with the veterans on new projects, displaying site-specific sculptures or installations, and presenting live performances.

Peep Michael Angelo's video short on Venice Beach artist Arthure Moore, whose "Funky Pussy" is being used as the poster artwork for the Venice Beach Biennial. The video is not "work safe" due to language.

The Venice Beach Biennial:
Friday, July 13, 11am-Sunset
Saturday, July 14, 11am-Sunset
Sunday, July 15, 11am-6pm

Be sure to come to the blue house at 523 Ocean Front Walk & the Gigger bread court July 13-15 and experience our pop up art gallery scene. Experience Venice's hidden secret, the art installation pieces that make our shows so widely popular with the Venice art world! Disneyland for adults….Kids too.

Who is responsible for choosing the artwork to represent the Venice Biennial? Just more crap from the boardwalk that is not child safe. Shame.

It's just another money-grab disguised as a carnival.

I'd love to see pagent performed to music depicting the rise and fall of Abbot Kinney and Venice of America. Of course the part where Mr Kinney makes his fortune selling cigarettes wouldn't be very PC.

Sure it is.  Abbot Kinney was selling cigarettes when they were still good for you.
