BLOCKS of ice from the Bahamas, cardboard bed clothes from Iraq and a thumping Vatican heartbeat will help the 2013 Venice Biennale attempt to capture the "unruly" world of art.
The rich diversity of unexpected sights and sounds at the world's largest non-commercial art exhibition are partly a result of sheer numbers, with shows from 88 countries installed across the canal city in time for the opening yesterday.
More than 150 artists are taking part in the Biennale, which has been running since 1895 and continues to attract artists, art-lovers and collectors from across the planet to Venice.
"Every two years we capture the world - and the world is unruly," Biennale curator Massimiliano Gionito said.
Ten countries, including the Vatican and the Bahamas, are participating for the first time, with their own dedicated pavilions in a fair that runs until November.
