An artistic rendering of Lorenzo Quinn’s six pairs of arching hands creating a bridge over a Venetian waterway. Venice opened routes to Asia, the Far East, with Marco Polo and the Merchants of Venice. It has been a driving force of European growth always.”Quinn’s “Building Bridges” installation, like “Support” before it, is a collateral event to the Venice Biennale, which runs May 11-Nov. 24. Both projects have been backed by Venice city officials, after the Biennale refused to accept “Support” two years ago. Quinn said that cities — he won’t say which — already have opened a bidding process to win “Building Bridges” once its Biennale stint is closed.
