"Enjoy other must-reads in this edition, including a studio visit with the inimitable Joan Semmel, who's still kicking ass at age 93; Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury speaking about her 'revenge art' from bombarded Beirut."
The 61st Venice Biennale is approaching, expected to be a dynamic event shaped by the surrounding global climate. Concerns arise about potential protests overshadowing the art.
