Don’t know how to get there from here? Feel like you’re not invited to the party? Low on raw materials?

Do what Brooklyn artist Swoon is doing: crashing the Venice Biennale (a major contemporary art exhibition) on boats made entirely of trash. Swoon and her proudly motley crew of dumpster-diving anarchist artists landed in Slovenia with a container of New York garbage, raw ingredients for the boats that will take them across the Adriatic to Venice. Think Water World meets Mad Max.
