In the two exhibition halls of Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, a historic building owned by I.P.A.V. (Venetian Public Assistance Institutions), managed by Fondazione Venezia Servizi alla Persona through the cultural enhancement project “Hidden Jewels of Venice“, the Roman artist Andrea Aquilanti proposes a superimposition of levels of space and time: projections, shadows, intervals paintings, translations, overlaps and mixes between past and present that make up a constantly changing and mutating scenography.
Curated by Pier Paolo Scelsi and Francesca Mavaracchio, the exhibition focuses on the contemporaneity of an important work by Jacopo Robusti known as Tintoretto: the “Bozzetto per il Paradiso a Palazzo Ducale” (Sketch for Paradise at the Doge’s Palace), identifying, translating and documenting the places in Venice where Tintoretto’s artistic text insisted and still exists today.
The proposed installations are placed as a medium through which the visitor from “spectator” becomes a direct agent and “actor“, a living element of interconnection between the levels of space and time produced by the artist’s work.
