      "BGL, Quebec's prankster artist collective, has tinkered with the Canada Pavilion. The venerable gallery, which opened in 1958 at Venice's Giardini di Castello, and has since been the venue for dozens of exhibitions by some of this country's greatest artists, has been expanded with scaffolding and filled with a program of curous objects that lead visitors on a surprising journey. The National Gallery of Canada is delighted to present the dynamic collective BGL, with its ambitious installation Canadassimo, at the 56th international Art Exhibition La Biennale de Venezia."--P. 26.
