Francesco Bonami's 2003 Venice Biennale has been trashed already.

Venice Biennale: But where's the art? What are the expectations of art and artists in today's climate? Those outside the direct influence and knowledge of the artworld certainly don't find the search for some of the conceptual extremes that have received press in recent years. That lay audience still treasures realist works because they can grab ahold of it in their minds and relate to something they understand. Even "fantasy" based art and graffiti can do that. Abstraction and Conceptualism are more difficult but, many find it worthy and acceptable. What's your take on it (after reading part or all of the linked articles above)?
