Brooklyn-based artist Diana Al-Hadid travels to the 55th Venice Biennale, where she tours the exhibition and speaks candidly with five of her peers about their work. "It is fascinating to see what problems other artists are solving," says Al-Hadid, "and what curiosities they're pursuing that sometimes feel very similar to the curiosities [I'm] pursuing." In Venice, she interviews artists Jesper Just, Kimsooja, Mark Manders, and Katrín Sigurdardóttir. Back in Brooklyn, Al-Hadid video chats with fellow Art21 artist Ai Weiwei who is prohibited from leaving China; their conversation is accompanied by footage of Ai's collateral exhibition in Venice.
