The Venice Biennale is perhaps the biggest name in contemporary art: a chance for nations to showcase their best and brightest artist and for artists to represent their country on the world stage.

This year, Marco Fusinato joins the list of Australian alumni with a very unusual display: a six-month long performance of guitar-based noise music and visuals called Desastres.

In the Drawing Room, Alexie Glass-Kantor and Mikala Tai discuss the work, the excitement of curating a major showcase, and the experience on the ground in Venice.
