Isole speaks of the artist himself and of the spaces he has used here. An important theme is that of Venice, of the continuity between past and present, of the city’s hidden vitality - a far cry from the usual vulgar stereotypes of the place.
This is an ambitious work that has required a long time in gestation and creation.
As elegant as Venice itself, the work’s various sections touch upon the questions of spirit and body, of states of mind and states of soul. Venice is, therefore, no mere container for events and works imported from outside. It is a workshop for creation and the recipient of that creation - a process that envisages the establishment of harmony even where there is the most striking dissonance.
An autobiographical vision of different states of spirit and matter, the project reflects what has been an essential part of the poetics of Maurizio Pellegrin since 1990: the creation of artistic works for specific spaces.
The various sections are entitled: The Third Space (installation of period paintings combined with thread and textiles; Museo Correr); Impermanence and Transmigration (installation and film; Doge’s Palace, Sala dei Cuoi and Sala della Quarantia dei Criminali); 1. Traces of Being and 2. Transformation, between Decline and the New State (installations with objects and sculpture; Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana); The Everyday: Cult, Symbolism and Representation (installation; Museo del Palazzo Mocenigo); Memory and Permanence (installation with photographs; Ca’ Rezzonico); Transit and Flow(fragmentary composition with objects and other components; Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna di Ca’ Pesaro); Multiplication of Being (installation; Museo d’Arte Orientale); Obsessions of Being (installation and film; Museo Storico Navale).

"MARIANO FORTUNY:
a view of Venice at the beginning of the Twentieth Century"

Running Exhibition from June 11th to November 6th 2005
"HENRI FOUCAULT,
SATORI - Venice"

The exhibition, curated by Dominique Païni, is organised in concomitance with the 51st Venice Visual Arts Biennale. Located on the first piano nobile of the Palazzo, the exhibition complements the atmospheric interiors and furnishings of Mariano Fortuny's atelier. It comprises a series of works - photographs that have been punctured and/or re-drawn by the superimposition of hundreds of pins - which are a conceptual conjunction of the photographic image and the three-dimensional. Other pieces include video installations and a floor sculpture of twelve components. Often, what we look for in photographs of bodies and things is mass rather than outline, weight rather than evanescence, the modulation of volume rather than the diaphanous extension of surfaces. However, Henri Foucault has long known that photography also possesses another undeniable gift: it exalts materials themselves, facing us with the problems raised by spatial perception, by the form and reproducibility of images. From the apparent conflict between the slow development of a volume and the instantaneous act of taking a photograph emerges the opportunity to blend together these two notions of sculpture and photography. Sosein and Satori, the two series exhibited in Venice, mark the stage the artist has reached in exploring this encounter, in radically undermining the traditional categories of art. The starting-point is the model, the human body.

Opening hours: Daily from October 9th to November 7th 2004, ground floor.
Tickets
: € 9; Concession: € 6.50 children from 6 to 14 years;

LAST EXHIBITIONS AT PALAZZO FORTUNY

Palazzo Fortuny

Palazzo Fortuny, San Marco - Venezia

"Mariano Fortuny was a great modern artist whose creations ranged from the development of theatrical lighting to the invention of particular methods for dyeing and printing textiles. Knowledge of the work in the collections of Palazzo Fortuny has enabled me to trace parallels with my own research as an artist. Questions relating to light, form, materials, structure, decorative arts and serial production are at the core of my concerns. I see this exhibition as a opportunity to create a dialogue between works of art from different periods; to engage with the work and spirit of Fortuny." This is how Henri Foucault interprets and explains his presence here at Palazzo Fortuny. Sosein and Satori, the two series of work on display, comprise photographic images that concentrate on different aspects of corporeality. Each image is either punctured or re-defined by the dense agglomerations of steel pins that form a layer above it. In effect, the work focuses on the perception of light, on a redefinition of the sense of volume, on the relation between the two- and three-dimensional, between form and structure, between photography and sculpture.

52, San Marco - Ala Napoleonica - Venice

LAST EXHIBITIONS AT CORRER MUSEUM

Born in Berlin in 1922, Lucian Freud moved to London with his family in 1933. His first exhibitions came in 1944 when, together with Francis Bacon and Graham Sutherland, he showed works in which the deformation of objects and faces revealed the clear influence of Neue Sichlichkeit and appreciation of the art of Georges Grosz. The nude would mark a new departure in his art and painting. "Obsession with his subject is the sole impulse necessary for a painter to set to work" is how this reserved and painstaking artist describes the motive force behind his art. In a period dominated by 'image' and by the mass media's obsession with new 'figures' on which it can feast, Lucian Freud gives expression to a profound and intimate objectivity.

NEXT Exhibition from June 11th to October 30th 2005
"Lucian Freud"

Organised by Musei Civici Veneziani, in collaboration with the British Council, the exhibition is curated by William Feaver and includes more than eighty works by this German-born artist, some of them established masterpieces, some new works produced for the occasion.In the fifty years since he first exhibited in Venice Lucian Freud's fame as a painter has matured into pre-eminence. His achievement was recognised in the retrospective held at the Tate in London in 2002 which was seen by more people than any other show there of a living artist. Three years later, a number of new and previously unseen paintings by the 82 year old artist will form the finale to the exhibition at the Museo Correr, coinciding with the 2005 Biennale. Envisaged to run in conjunction with the 2005 Visual Arts Biennale, the show will include some seventy-five paintings and ten etchings from various European and American collections. The exhibition concentrates on Freud's lasting preoccupation, his concern for the individual and the particular. In its emphasis on what might be termed passionate proximity it will differ substantially from the Tate retrospective. Like his one-time friend Francis Bacon, Freud has always aimed to go beyond appearance. Unlike Bacon he does so by concentrating on specifics. "Everything is a portrait", he has said. The subject, whether friend or acquaintance, lover, daughter or grand daughter, whether fellow painters -such as Bacon and Hockney- or the Queen of England or indeed himself, becomes uniquely Freudian. As a grandson of Sigmund Freud, Lucian Freud has always been associated with notions of psychological insight genetically transmitted, somehow. In reality he is a painter primarily concerned with the behaviour of paint. His fierce attention to everything from plant life to a dog's muzzle, to anything from a wrinkled coverlet to the hind quarters of a horse, makes him a marvel among artists of our time, a profoundly honest, intimate, uncompromising perpetuator of (as he puts it) "the way life goes." The Exhibition is held in conjunction with the 2005 Visual Arts Biennale.

"Bolca"

An exhibitions based on best fossil found inside the Bolca basin, became famous all over the world for the richness of its fossil content. In the Eocen, more than 45 million of years ago, the area of Bolca in the Lessini Mountain of Veneto was a tropical area with beautiful plants and beaches. The area of Bolca corresponded to a lagoon where the lack of oxigen permitted a perfect conservation of the death fishes then covered by fine sediment. An immense deposit of fossils was so created, more than 250 species of fish discovered in the last 250 years of excavations: the best is now shown at Natural History Museum in Venice.
