Ai Weiwei in Venice

The exhibition is in the abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore

"Glass has unlimited possibilities. It is a burning fire, but after a while it becomes an icy fire. It is a romantic material, from liquid can take any form, it is colored or transparent". This is how the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei describes his meeting with glass, which took place a few years ago after a visit to the foundry of Adriano Berengo, co-curator of the exhibition "La Commedia Umana - Memento Mori", hosted in the magnificent setting of San Giorgio Maggiore Abbey in Venice.

There is a ghost lurking in the art world

A ghost is lurking in the art world. It has the gloomy features of the dreaded state monopoly body that goes by the name of SIAE. It bullies its way into publishing houses, museums, and galleries. It sows panic and terror. As if the already unsustainable energy price increases, galloping inflation and serious economic conditions were not enough to cause loss of sleep and imagination.

New York • Barbara Kruger at MoMA

The artist’s research focuses on female identity, its use in the media and the use of stereotypes

Liminal space by definition, that between life and art, made up of encounters and contrasts that are never quite defined, generating other equally liminal spaces, separated by the blurred boundaries between different arts. At the entrance to one of these thresholds, ut pictura poësis has always been written: as in painting so in poetry.

Lisa Borgiani's intelligent initiative

The artist photographed ordinary people in important European capitals and asked them "What is Europe to you?"

What is Europe to you? Is a photographic and literary project created and carried out by the eclectic Lisa Borgiani since 2019, with the curatorial contribution of Gigliola Foschi and texts by Marta Ottaviani.

Vangi at Rovereto's Mart dialogues with Pisano, Donatello, Michelangelo 

His gesture seems to question man without sealing him in a time frame: Giuliano Vangi feeds on sublime classicism, anguished expressiveness and sometimes bare abstraction to express a sculpture that seeks no labels. It is precisely for this reason he is able to dialogue with the past and the future thanks to the suggestion of a material that places him in a continuous present that is always prodigal of palpable emotions.
