'It’s impossible to come to Venice without pondering the contradictory relationship that this place has with tourism, something that is both its greatest resource and most pernicious threat. It makes sense that an artist like Hernan Bas should produce a body of work dedicated to this theme after a residency in the island city. ' — Chiara Rimella
