When entering the Romanian Pavilion you are greeted by empty space, which is what you would expect from the title, an Immaterial Retrospective of the Venice Biennale.  What you find inside of this blank space are actors, portraying past exhibits at the Biennale.  Quite frankly I find the idea genius. Its appropriation in a different way, and I find it interesting to watch. I feel though, that it would be even more interesting to watch if I knew exactly what they were portraying.  While they tell you which piece they are performing, prior knowledge of the previous work would definitely be beneficial.
