La Mostra internazionale
di Architettura.
Promossa da La Biennale di Venezia
è il grande evento espositivo
dell’anno.
Aperta già dal mese di maggio si
presenta in questa sua diciottesima
edizione con un tema che
sempre più drammaticamente
tocca il mondo intero, quello del
sempre più complesso rapporto
tra uomo e pianeta, accentrando la
sua attenzione sull’Africa e, inevitabilmente,
sulla sua diaspora.
Il laboratorio del futuro, questo
il titolo della Mostra curata Lesley
Lokko, prende idealmente avvio
dal Padiglione Centrale ai Giardini,
per poi snodarsi lungo il complesso
dell’Arsenale giungendo fino
al Forte Marghera, in terraferma.
L’esposizione comprende naturalmente
le Partecipazioni nazionali
(quest’anno 63) con singole mostre allestite nei Padiglioni ai Giardini e all’Arsenale
oltre che nel centro storico.
Si aggiungono una decina di esposizioni “Collaterali” diffuse anche queste nel
tessuto urbano della città. Chiusura prevista il 26 novembre.
Le Mostre d’Arte.
Assieme ai musei si confermano come una delle attrazioni della città.
Tra queste, segnaliamo Edmondo Bacci, artista veneziano del Novecento,
presentata dalla Collezione Peggy Guggenheim (fino al 18 settembre); le
mostre Chronorama e Icone proposte dalla Fondazione Pinault nelle sedi di
Palazzo Grassi e Punta della Dogana, rispettivamente sulla fotografia degli ex
archivi Condé Nast e sull’arte contemporanea.
E ancora: l’esposizione Everybody Talks about the Weather presentata dalla
Fondazione Prada a Ca’ Corner della Regina, inedito progetto di ricerca
sulla correlazione tra arti visive e tempo meteorologico; quella dedicata alla
potenzialità dell’essere umano “A World of Potential” con la coinvolgente installazione
di Arthur Duff, allestita presso i bellissimi spazi di recente restaurati
delle Procuratie Vecchie; sull’opera dell’innovativo architetto giapponese
Kengo Kuma a Palazzo Franchetti; sui grandi maestri del Vetro boemo alle
Stanze del Vetro nell’isola di San Giorgio; sulle immagini di Paolo Pellegrin
presso le Stanze della Fotografia, sempre a San Giorgio e sull'opera di Julio
Larraz alla Galleria Contini
