"Art" in the Loosest Sense of the Word

New Criterion's James Panero has filed two (really three) dispatches from Venice's Biennale, documenting the state of avant-garde art - specifically its anti-American and antisemitic components.
Part one (from the WSJ) is here.
Part two (from NC's blog) here.
Part three here (chronologically the first though most comprehensible in the context of one and two).
