Palazzo con Vista – A Palace with a View
On the occasion of the 56th Biennale dArte di Venezia, THE POOL NYC is coming back to Venice with the group show Palazzo con Vista A Palace with a View.
The show will run from 5th May through 30th June and it will take place in the temporary space of the gallery at Palazzo Cesari-Marchesi located in the Calle Rombiasio in Campo Santa Maria del Giglio adjacent to Piazza San Marco. The XVIII Century palace bears the signs of a range of architectural and decorative additions made in different times.
The show is inspired by the traditional rooms to be found in Venetian Palaces and Villas such as the music room, the study, the portrait gallery, the library, the winter garden and the dining room.
Each selected artist will present one or more works that will interpret the rooms of the palace with a contemporary language. The aim is to breath new life into an historical place through the different media used by contemporary artists represented by paintings, drawings, prints, video, photographs and hand-carved sculptures.
In accordance to the Venetians custom, the exhibition itinerary will be accessible from Calle Rombiasio and through a doorway facing the Rio de lAlboro (aka Rio de le Ostreghe) facing the Teatro della Fenice.
