The Untouchable exhibition will be held at Lo Verso Art Studio in Giudecca and is organized by the Arte e Design Venezia association in collaboration with the ADmore Gallery. Curated by Ayune M. Namur, a Brazilian artist and curator who has been living in Italy for almost six years, the exhibition is represented by sixteen artists from eight different countries including: Italy, France, Sweden, Poland, Brazil, Canada, Japan and Turkey.
Through these different cultures put together it is also possible to make a connection with the theme of this year’s Art Biennale: Foreigners Everywhere. The exhibition is a journey between different points of view and understanding of the Untouchable theme, the artists, through varied techniques and artistic languages, represent internal „landscapes” with particular intensity, which invite us to reflect on ourselves and on the sense of extraneousness compared to our intimacy. The theme of the exhibition is therefore open and the question also addressed to the public: what is Untouchable for you?
The concept of untouchable can be understood in a physical sense, but it can also be understood in the emotional, creative, cultural, rational or irrational sense, such as a feeling, a memory, a relationship, a story, time, space, movement, nature, our inner strength, the air, the light, the sun, the sound, the heartbeat, the energy of life and much more. There are many elements that for each of us can be untouchable in terms of their importance! Just as they can be untouchable in the sense of their distance… it depends on how you see or feel what is untouchable. The photographs, engravings, paintings and sculptures of artists from seven different countries with completely different cultures will tell the public a little about the history and poetry of each artist, inviting to enter their world and thus, can make them reflect on their own ” inner world” and even on our “collective world”. And at the end of the end the question also remains for the public: what is untouchable for you?
The inauguration will be held on August 3rd from 5pm to 7pm, at Lo Verso Art Studio, in Giudecca. Entrance is free and the exhibition will remain open until September 1st.
