Nature is healing? Seagull lays eggs in the Giardini during Venice Biennale preview

Curators, critics and collectors zoomed from pavilion to pavilion during the VIP preview of the Biennale. The world seemed to slow down, however, when the VIP visitors passed by the Polish pavilion in the Giardini—thanks to a bird that has given birth. Staff at the pavilion have kindly built a protective barrier around a seagull that has laid three eggs near the entrance, warning visitors not to approach the feisty beast who brandishes a very sharp beak. “This, for me, is the main attraction,” said an Italian collector standing in awe over the majestic gull. The happy but snappy bird has, it appears, not yet brought her chicks into the (art) world—watch this space.
