- Helmut Newton. Legacy
28.03.2024-24.11.2024
Le Stanze della Fotografia, Island of San Giorgio Maggiore
Le Stanze della Fotografia will host the retrospective HELMUT NEWTON. LEGACY, curated by Matthias Harder, Director of the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, and Denis Curti, on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of Helmut Newton’s birth (Berlin, 1920 – Los Angeles, 2004). Through 250 photographs, magazines, documents and videos, the exhibition will look back over the entire career of one of the best loved and widely discussed photographers of all time. Alongside the more iconic images, a corpus of previously unpublished photographs, presented for the first time in Italy, will reveal many less known aspects of Newton’s work, with a specific focus on the more unconventional fashion shoots.

- Berlinde De Bruyckere: City of Refuge III
Collateral Event – Biennale Arte 2024
20.04.2024-24.11.2024
Abbazia di San Giorgio Maggiore, Island of San Giorgio Maggiore
Taking its title from a Nick Cave song of the same name, City of Refuge III is the third in a series of exhibitions by Berlinde De Bruyckere thematizing art as a place of sanctuary and shelter, reinforced here by the venue’s spiritual intensity. Oscillating between transcendence and material immanence, City of Refuge III is based on three new groups of works by the artist which uniquely respond to the church’s monumental architecture, function, symbolism and history. On view will be an installation of Arcangeli sculptures in the nave and side aisles, a large-scale installation in the church’s Sacristy and sculptural wall-vitrine works in the hallway of the Monastery’s Gallery.
- Lost Directions
April 2024
Galleria Alessandro Casciaro and Ncontemporary, Fondamenta S. Giacomo 199, Giudecca
Galleria Alessandro Casciaro and Ncontemporary are pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition space in Venice. The new gallery opens with Lost directions, an exhibition that explores the concept of identity through the works of Urs Lüthi (Switzerland, 1947), Santiago Reyes Villaveces (Colombia, 1986) and Silvia Rosi (Italy, 1992). The show takes its title from an installation by Urs Lüthi: a 2014 work that is a manifesto of the research carried out by the artist from the 70’s. In the works exhibited all three artists focus their attention on the topics of personal history and the relationship with society, the positioning of the self in the global context.
