Strong Article from art critic Jonathan Turner about the 54th Venice Biennial. 
About Koen Vanmechelen's work he states;  "Out of the blur of the Venice Biennale, particularly in an edition dedicated to ILLUMI-nations, there are always a few individual works which shine out like beacons. In the Palazzo Loredan, Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen has continued his artistic study based on the creation of a new breed of chicken, with a marble statue of his 15th generation Mechelse Fayoumi rooster surreally exhibited on a plinth among busts of Veronesi, Palladio and Bellini in the foyer of the Institute of Science, Letters and Art." - Jonathan Turner
