Today marks the start of the 54th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale directed by the art historian and critic Bice Curiger. Previewing to those in the industry over the next three days, the Biennale officially opens to the public on Saturday June 4. To celebrate the annual event, AnOther are partnering with artist Katie Paterson and Haunch of Venison for her 100 Billion Suns project. The unique project will involve confetti cannons being set off at regular intervals during the vernissage of the Biennale at a series of unspecified locations around Venice, from major piazzas to the smallest back streets. Each explosion will be documented and mapped in an interactive Exclusive launching on Wednesday June 8. A limited print is being launched to coincide with the project, available from Haunch of Venison.

AnOther's contributing editor Francesca Gavin and Exhibit A columnist Skye Sherwin are also reporting live from the festival, selecting their personal highlights over the next few days.
