Exhibition: Palaeontology meets Hanna-Barbera

EXHIBIT REVIEWEDThe Homo species

by Hyungkoo Lee

Korean Pavilion, 52nd Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy: (until 21 November)

Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee's quirky take on palaeontology is a showstopper among the acres of international contemporary art on offer at the 52nd Venice Biennale. Lee, the first artist to have a solo show in his country's pavilion, immediately grabs the attention of visitors with a dramatically spotlit moment from the world's geological past, staged in the centre of a darkened room.
