Jennie Hirsh described the seminar as action-packed and it was! Jennie was able to put the Biennials into a historical and architectural prospective and also introduce us to innovative contemporary art using wonderful visuals - all in one seminar. A very informative and worthwhile seminar.

Terrific
Having been to a few Venice Biennales I enjoyed getting the background of how the Biennale started and the different artists and curators that have participated over the years. Also background on the architecture of the pavillions.
