Caroline Baum Catches up with the Monday Morning Cooking Club

The Venice art that made my heart go boom:

Ugo Rondinone at Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista. I love Ugo. These spectacular illuminated blue bodies floating in the church are just

Chun Kwang Young at Palazzo Contarini Polignac - I first noticed and loved his work years ago at the Hong Kong art Basel, so it's v exciting to have found him again.

Anselm Kiefer at the Doge's Palace: no word to describe the scale and beauty of this work. A must must must see. Even if you have to traipse through every room in the Palace to get to THE room.

Anish Kapoor at Accademia + Palazzo Manfrin: Incredible in many ways, worth looking at and wondering (and still wondering) what it all means.

Carole Feuerman at Santa Maria Della Pietà: just love her figures, so beautiful to look at.

The Brazil pavilion at the Giardini: many hundreds of Potuguese sayings, translated into Italian and English, with related artworks and drawings. Funny and surprising and needed more time.

Also really worth a visit - This is Ukraine: defending freedom at Scuola Grande della Misericordia and The Dutch Pavillion 'when the body says yes' at the nearby Chiesetta della Misericrodia.

And we shvitzed all the way every day!
