Dr. Abel takes us on an illustrated
journey through the early
stages of the universe, using the latest computer animations
of how the first (massive) stars formed and
died, and how stars built up the first galaxies.
I'm
of the opinion that it's actually a perfect time for artists to use the world
stage of the most respected and long - standing international art exhibition, to address some urgent issues
of world politics: In particular migration which is the subject
of Vik Muniz's «Lampedusa» (Pace Gallery), a fragile paper boat floats around the Venetian canals, printed with headlines about migrants who
died at sea in recent months after attempting to make the treacherous
journey from Libya to Lampedusa in Italy.
