This visit took in the 3rd floor and I've now seen most - not quite all - of what this Triennial has to offer and it's confirmed the impression that I had from my first visit that this instalment isn't of the same high standard as the inaugural one in 2017. Still, there were plenty of pleasures across the many pieces of contemporary art and design gathered and thoughtfully installed as part of the exhibition.
Veronique Ellena - "Santi Luca e Martina, Rome" (2011) - from a series showing the poor and homeless amidst the splendour of ancient city buildings
Susan Philipsz - "A single voice" (2017), a video and sound installation in which the sound of the first violinist playing the score of a film (Aniara, a sci-fi tragedy) is separated from the rest of the score, deconstructed into its twelve separate tones and played through individual speakers around the darkened room
Daniel Arsham - "Falling clock" (2020)
JR - "Homily to Country" (2020), one of several installed in a pavilion outside drawing attention to the environmental and human harm arising from the degradation and drying-out of the Darling river system
