It’s the oldest, largest contemporary art show in the world: the Venice Biennale has kicked off its 60th edition under the heading "Foreigners Everywhere". Arts editor Eve Jackson brings us the latest from the event, explaining why the artist and curator selected for the Israeli pavilion chose to keep it closed. The Biennale's artistic director, Adriano Pedrosa, had called for a more inclusive selection of artists this year; we hear about the Ethiopian, British and Canadian pavilions who are changing the face of post-colonial art. Plus our reporters give us a glimpse of a floating museum, as the Art Explora boat brings a moveable feast of arts and culture to cities around the Mediterranean.
