Athens Destroyed

So the Athens Biennial is finally here, curated by Xenia Kalpakstoglou, Poka Yio & Augustine Zenakos - 9 September - 18 November, and its' great, though not the kind of exhibition you can easily describe with photos, its one of those you actually have to walk through to understand. The whole experience is perfectly choreographed, and the sequence of works really works. Here's some of the pieces I liked and remembered to take pictures of, though unfortunately I don't have a pic of Bernhard Wilhelm's super faggy voguing greek soldier, but here's Assume Vivid Astro Focus' beach-garden-transvestite sex clubwith great buttplug flagsthe rest of the show is much more somber,
