After the success of the last Berlin Biennial - called Of Mice and Men, and with a curatorial team led by artist Maurizio Cattelan - I was nervous that this latest, called When Things Cast No Shadow, would disappoint. It is less spectacular; there are fewer big-name artists. It proceeds by stealth, offering possibilities rather than answers, conditions rather than a theme. What is meant by the title? If art casts no shadow, it is either dead or without substance. More likely, the curators, Adam Szymczyk and Elena Filipovic, wish us to cast our own shadows here. The result is a more generous and rewarding biennial than most.

from the Guardian (London).
He mentions many of the works that I thought were strongest, but this pieces weren't great examples from a great biennial, but rather rare jewels nearly lost in the morass.

Though a bit of a truism, it's funny how two people can see the exact same thing and come to totally different conclusions.
