"I TIEPOLO - Disegni e rami dalle collezioni del Museo Correr"

The exhibition takes place at the second floor of Museo del Settecento veneziano . On the occasion of the bicentenary, sixty precious drawnings have been gathered, some of them made by Giandomenico,some by his father Giambattista and belonging to Museo Correr. These works aren't normally exhibited and they are mostly linked to the other fundamental aspect of the artist : the extraordinary Via Crucis of the Oratorio del Crocefisso of Chiesa di San Polo. The drawing exhibit has been put on by Attilia Dorigato . A further section, organized by Camillo Tonini is very much representative of the Tiepolo engraving works : 33 branches never before shown and belonging to Museo Correr collections with the engravings to which they refer to. The exhibition works can be seen following the Museum normal path.

"Gli affreschi dalla Villa di Zianigo"

On the occasion of death bicentenary of Giandomenico Tiepolo (1727- 1804), a serious of events are devoted to the artist in Venice at Fondazione Cini, at Oratorio del Crocifisso ,in San Polo and in Ca' Rezzonico, where, at the second floor, can be seen the frescoes that Tiepolo painted in his own house, , Villa di Zianigo, from 1759 to 1797. The painter is very well known for his ability in frescoes technique. His cicle paintings at Palazzo Labia (1746-47),his masterpieces created during his stay in Madrid (1762-70) and those made in Würzburg have been very important for painting development. The Venice frescoes represent one of the most important part of Musei Civici Veneziani collections. Taken away from their original placing in 1906, protected from the danger of selling them as antiques, since 1908 they have been bought by Venice and by the Italian state to be given to Musei Civici. They were formerly exhibited at Museo Correr and they were finally put in Ca' Rezzonico in 1936. Thanks to Venice Foundation members, they were restored in 2001 by Ottorino Nonfarmale. The frescoes can be seen following the Museo del Settecento Veneziano path of Ca' Rezzonico .

Turner and Venice

An extraordinary exhibition devoted to Joseph Turner (London 1975-1851) has recently been opened at Museo Correr in Venice : there can be found more than a 120 works like paintings, drawings, water colours and sketches albums. The event has been anticipated by the monographic exhibition held in London In 2003 at Tate Britain. Most of the works come from there, in particular they belong to the Clore Gallery (Tate Millbank wing of the building) since 1987, while the water colours were left at British Museum from 1929 to 1986. The exhibition was conceived as a cooperation between the Musei Civici Veneziani and Tate Britain. Ian Warrel, who works for Tate Britain, is the organizer of the whole event and he is responsible for all the collections present there. Turner has visited Venice three times for short periods. These trips are present in his paintings wth extraordinary colours demonstrating the assimilation of Venice style and of the shining atmospheres of the lagoon town. To understand the artist poetics , the light theme must be considered very important : his paintings represent nature in its power and magnificence and the man bewilderment in front of the impressive and unforeseen events caused by it. With the works present at Museo Correr, Ian Warrel wants to emphasize the love that Turner had for Venice as if he was in symbiosis with it. The painter is fascinated by the simultaneous combination of water, land, sea and lagoon. These Venice components were already very well known by Turner through the works of Canaletto and other artists such as Marlow, Caffi and Doyle. The fascination for the lagoon town grew even more when, in Louvre, he saw Veronese, Tiziano e Tintoretto paintings. This love for Venice took him once again in Italy, where he painted vistas of Piazza San Marco, of Piazzetta, of Palazzo Ducale, of residenza del Doge, of Basilica e of Campanile.

"I Pulcinella di Lello Esposito"

The exhibition devoted to the architect LINA BO BARDI and organized by Luciano Semerani, Antonella Gallo e Giovanni Marras has been opened at the Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna of Ca' Pesaro. One of the most important aspect of the exhibition , which is part of the 9th International Architecture Exhibition of Biennale, is the architecture freedom represented by more than 200 original drawings. The starting point of the architecture experimentations is the metamorphosis concept which gives birth to changing geometrical forms of which expression is a very important aspect. By means of his fantasy , the artist obtains odd and creative associations from parallelepipeds, piramids and spirals through an imagination tortuous path among social centres, houses and museums all seen with a design and art postmodern point of view .
