Highlights at the Venice Biennale
Ghana: Ghana Freedom
This is the first outing at Venice for Ghana, and the country's pavilion （展馆）contains a huge amount of artistic firepower: the architect David Adjaye has made a section of it with temporary walls of packed African soil; the philosopher Kwame has written the lead catalog essay; and it features not one but six artists, including the filmmaker Akomfrah and the sculptor El Anatsui.
The pavilion succeeds best by mapping the rich history shared by Ghana's citizens. You can see it in the portraits from the 1960s by Felicia, regarded as the first woman in Ghana to work as a professional photographer.
Roman Opalka: Telling Time
In 1965, this Polish artist began his “Details”, one of the most emotional projects of postwar art by painting the number 1 in the comer of a blank canvas. He took a breath, painted a 2, took another, painted 3 — and died, 46 years later, after painting the number 5 ,607 ,249.
Small preparatory exercises for the number paintings, never before seen, appear inside a room of antique musical instruments, beautifully presented by the inventive director Chiara Bertoia. The pair have never been seen together, and when viewed face-to-face, you feel you have stepped into the space of a life.
Jannis Kounellis
After his early paintings copying the letters of Roman street advertising, Mr. Kounellis began to put natural materials in relief with cultural or historical relics. After several years of deep-thinking group exhibitions, the Fondazione hosts a show of this Greek-born Italian artist, who died two years ago and whose poetic combination of coal, stones, soil and used clothes made him a key figure. 21. What did Kwame do for Ghana Freedom?
A. He covered a wall with African soil. B. He combined natural materials into art. C. He wrote an article about its contents. D. He included some artists in the pavilion. 22. What can we learn about \
A. Opalka got inspiration from Chiara when creating it. B. The artist added his war experience into the artwork. C. Six influential artists joined in the important project. D. It's an emotional project about art after World War II. 23. What's the characteristic of the artwork of Jannis?
A. It puts natural materials with cultural relics. B. It copies the way Roman letters are formed. C. It's all set in a bright room full of musicians. D. It gives one the feeling of stepping into space.
B
UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, \is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子).\Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at us.
