Venice Galleries View
events + press
storage/ 24 April - 31 October 2020
In a peculiar and difficult moment like the one we were all facing during this year, the mutual esteem and heartfelt desire for collaboration that unites the gallery network of Venice Galleries View since its establishment in 2017, spurred the launch of a new collaborative project titled Storage.
Storage allowed visitors to discover a selection of nine artworks every week - one work personally handpicked by each gallery from their gallery storages. The galleries thereby opened a virtual door to their spaces and invited their audiences to have a peek inside their storages, locations normally closed to the public.
During the months June, July, August and September the project expanded even further by collaborating with several international guest galleries that each presented an artwork from their storage as well. Participating guest galleries included: Piero Atchugarry Gallery, Galerie Isabelle Gounod, Van Doren Waxter and Norbert Arns with works by Pablo Rasgado, Leslie Smith III, Jackie Saccoccio and Isabelle Young.
in-edita/ 20 July - 20 September 2020
The project in-edita, conceived by Marina Bastianello and coordinated by Venice Galleries View, presents an opportunity for an in-depth study of individual artistic working methods of 18 selected artists, in light of current issues of contemporary research processes and with the aim of encouraging a dynamic and versatile approach to artistic research.
PROGRAM
Venice Galleries View launches an open call aimed at artists under 40 from the Venetian surrounding area.
Participation in residencies and workshops will take place in two sessions, according to the following program:
Session I:
20.07-20.08.2020 (9 artists) - 21.08-20.09.2020 (9 artists)
Focus: DEDALO - art studio laboratory
A committee of gallerists will select 18 artists who will have the opportunity to work in assigned studio spaces within the Forte Marghera, Monument and Public Park, which connects Venice to the Salso Canal and
other culturally rich locations on the mainland. The artists will be able to find a fruitful exchange amongst each other and develop their research precisely in the year in which Venice will be enjoyable as never before due to the reduced tourism caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A series of studio visits will be organised to bring for example museum directors together with collectors and curators to the ateliers to get to know the artists and their work. Once a week, by pre-online reservation, the public will be invited to participate in a series of free guided visits, organised in collaboration with Dr. Anna Bigai, President of the Cooperativa Guide Turistiche Autorizzate di Venezia, to rediscover the city through an unprecedented itinerary. DEDALO will be concluded in autumn with a final group exhibition of works created during the residency.
Session II:
08.08-20.09.2020
Focus: DIORAMA - art platform
DIORAMA is a contemporary art platform which includes several Venetian galleries and a group of their represented artists. The goal is to organise a series of meetings hosted in the spaces made available by Forte Marghera with the aim of opening up new perspectives and lines of cultural development. These meetings will be accompanied by several online formats that will allow anyone to participate remotely.

Materiche & Video
M9 Cloister
Via Giovanni Pascoli, 11, 30171, Mestre
curated by Venice Galleries View
in collaboration with M9
The exhibition Materiche, under the banner of a strong feminine identity, featuring the works of nine artists (Mariateresa Sartori, Katarzyna Kozyra, Silvia Levenson, Romina De Novellis, Lore Bert, Silvia Infranco, Margherita Morgantin, Sonia Costantini and Ylenia Deriu), is a narration that gently ranges between concepts such as memory, time, strength, coexistence, individuality, belonging, materiality, reality and imagination. Different artists and styles dialogue in a unique harmony as it happens in Venice Galleries View, a project of cultural and artistic collaboration between contemporary art galleries in Venice and Mestre (Alberta Pane, Beatrice Burati Anderson Art Space&Gallery, Caterina Tognon, Dorothea van der Koelen, Ikona Gallery, Marignana Arte, marina bastianello gallery, Michela Rizzo). This network of ideas and people forms a true living structure and constitutes a single material body.
The title Materiche not surprisingly recalls matter as a primordial substance, mere power, but also alludes to the Latin derivation mater = mother, in this case woman, understood as a principle, as a source, but also as a root. It’s all that takes up space, that has body and shape. The core of the show focuses on the search for identity, a perennial and inexhaustible investigation that reveals a strong and feminine ego. Materiche is a powerful and inclusive exhibition, where every work must be observed as a material substance that generates an intimate and energetic dialogue between those who create it and those who observe it.
the cloister of M9 Museum will also be animated by a selection of videos specifically designed to invade and give voice to the urban space surrounding the museum. The videos accompany the exhibition and have been selected among the artists of the galleries that take part in the initiative. The programming of video in this context seemed particularly appropriate, both for the strong message transmitted and to strengthen the visual impact and the dialogue with M9 Museum known for its interest in technology and multimedia.
With exhibition inaugurations, special events and Sunday openings, the Gallery Weekend aims to offer the public a cultural extravaganza in the name of contemporary art, a great opportunity to get to know the work that the galleries carry out throughout the year, as well as to promote culture and the artists they support.
The Gallery Weekend will be a reoccurring event, happening once a year.

in memory of Lara Lupinc
Venice Galleries View, together with the university Ca' Foscari in Venice and in collaboration with the spin-off of the Ateneo Strategy Innovation, presents Art and Business: Roads to Innovation, an exhibition to highlight the synergy between the world of art and that of companies. By showing a cross-section of their research, the galleries interact with the theme proposed by the forum, social innovation. The galleries thereby propose to further develop - thanks to this shared project - the link between art and business which Ca’ Foscari works on with a multi-year research.

Rincontrarsi a Venezia / 5 June - 17 July 2021

Text by Jonathan Molinari
Venice Galleries View is pleased to present Rincontrarsi a Venezia, a group exhibition presented at Spazio Berlendis, Cannaregio 6301, Venice.
One of Vinicius de Moraes’ songs says that “life is the art of meeting”. It is also through art, and with art, that we can meet up again with our origin, beauty, different cultures, and our humanity.
Venice is the ideal meeting place, a City that appears to separate with its calli and its canals but that in fact has always gracefully united all the Mediterranean, all the lovers, all the artists. Concurrently with the Architecture Biennial and celebrations for the 1600 years of the founding of the city of Venice, Spazio Berlendis, after careful restoration, is being inaugurated. This space, the premises of this “meeting”, has a noble tradition: that of work. In the former carpentry of the Fassi Boatyard, one of the oldest in Venice, boats were built, the activity that has always vivified the City, and it has now become a place for culture, for art, for producing ideas, almost as an act of love for the city itself.
This project, in the particular historic moment we are undergoing, aspires to offer the opportunity to be in harmony with others, with our fears and our hopes, calling upon art, its strength, its emotion, its beauty. The plurality of artistic expressions (painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, installation) also encompasses the complexity of reality. A plurality explored by the show, with the hope that it can help us think about the beauty of comparison and the challenges of our present time.
Our guides in this experience will be eight artists, prominent on the international scene, coming from different cultures and using various means of expression: Francesco Candeloro, Maurizio Donzelli, Maurizio Pellegrin, Fabrizio Plessi, Ferdinando Scianna, Joao Vilhena, Francesca Woodman, Toots Zynsky. The Spazio Berlendis curators, Emanuela Fadalti and Matilde Cadenti, are happy to be able to rely on the collaboration of eight Venetian galleries (Alberta Pane, Beatrice Burati Anderson Art Space & Gallery, Caterina Tognon, La Galleria di Dorothea Van der Koelen, Ikona, Marignana Arte, Galleria Michela Rizzo, Victoria Miro), that will take part in the project presenting the work of one of their artists.
