  • VENICE, ITALY - 9 MAY 2019: The environment "Tutto il resto spegnere II (Homage a E. F.)"  (2019) by Enrico David, comprising "The Incessant" (2017), "Racket II" (2017), "Self Dug Trench" (2018),<br />
"Fortress Shadow" (2017),<br />
"Untitled (Orologio)" (2007) are seen here in the exhibition "Neither Nor: The challenge to the Labyrinth", curated by Milovan Farronato, at the Italian Pavilion during the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy, on May 9th 2019.<br />
<br />
"Neither Nor: The challenge to the Labyrinth" is the title of the exhibition, curated by Milovan Farronato for the Italian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in which three Italian artists are taking part, presenting completely new works along with ones from the past: Enrico David (Ancona, 1966), Chiara Fumai (Rome, 1978 – Bari, 2017) and Liliana Moro (Milan, 1961).  The subtitle of the project alludes to “La sfida al labirinto” (“The Challenge to the Labyrinth”) a seminal essay written by Italo Calvino in 1962 that has been the inspiration for Neither Nor. In this text the author proposes a cultural work open to all possible languages and that feels itself co-responsible in the construction of a world which, having lost its traditional points of reference, no longer asks to be merely represented. To visualize the intricate forms of contemporary reality, Calvino turns to the vivid metaphor of the labyrinth: an apparent maze of lines and tendencies that is in reality constructed on the basis of strict rules. <br />

<br />
"Islamic Art and Florence from the Medici to the 20th century”, curated by Giovanni Curatola and organised by the Uffizi  offers visitors the opportunity to discover the knowledge, exchange, dialogue and mutual influence that existed between the arts of East and West. The exhibition illustrates the extremely important role that Florence played in interfaith and intercultural exchange between the 15th and the early 20th centuries.<br />
<br />
According to Eike Schmidt, the Director of the Gallerie degli Uffizi, "the exhibition not only highlights the interest in Islamic culture that was strongly rooted in Medici collectintg and that continued well into the modern era, but it also testifies to the unprejudiced aesthetic fascination with the Orient that has always permeated European art. At the same time, it draws our attention to the crucial importance of trade, but primarily of intellectual and human exchange, in the Mediterranean basin and beyond as a means of enrichment and of peace".

  • VENICE, ITALY - 9 MAY 2019: Visitors are seen here at the opening of the exhibition "Neither Nor: The challenge to the Labyrinth", curated by Milovan Farronato, at the Italian Pavilion during the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy, on May 9th 2019.<br />
<br />
"Neither Nor: The challenge to the Labyrinth" is the title of the exhibition, curated by Milovan Farronato for the Italian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in which three Italian artists are taking part, presenting completely new works along with ones from the past: Enrico David (Ancona, 1966), Chiara Fumai (Rome, 1978 – Bari, 2017) and Liliana Moro (Milan, 1961).  The subtitle of the project alludes to “La sfida al labirinto” (“The Challenge to the Labyrinth”) a seminal essay written by Italo Calvino in 1962 that has been the inspiration for Neither Nor. In this text the author proposes a cultural work open to all possible languages and that feels itself co-responsible in the construction of a world which, having lost its traditional points of reference, no longer asks to be merely represented. To visualize the intricate forms of contemporary reality, Calvino turns to the vivid metaphor of the labyrinth: an apparent maze of lines and tendencies that is in reality constructed on the basis of strict rules. <br />

<br />
"Neither Nor: The challenge to the Labyrinth" is the title of the exhibition, curated by Milovan Farronato for the Italian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in which three Italian artists are taking part, presenting completely new works along with ones from the past: Enrico David (Ancona, 1966), Chiara Fumai (Rome, 1978 – Bari, 2017) and Liliana Moro (Milan, 1961).  The subtitle of the project alludes to “La sfida al labirinto” (“The Challenge to the Labyrinth”) a seminal essay written by Italo Calvino in 1962 that has been the inspiration for Neither Nor. In this text the author proposes a cultural work open to all possible languages and that feels itself co-responsible in the construction of a world which, having lost its traditional points of reference, no longer asks to be merely represented. To visualize the intricate forms of contemporary reality, Calvino turns to the vivid metaphor of the labyrinth: an apparent maze of lines and tendencies that is in reality constructed on the basis of strict rules. <br />

  • VENICE, ITALY - 9 MAY 2019: "Naavu (We Together" (2012) by artist GR Iranna (1970) is seen here in the group exhibition "Our Time for a Future Caring", curated by Roobina Karode for the Indian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy, on May 9th 2019.<br />
<br />
This installation evokes the idea of walking as a performative action,<br />
practical but also meditative and spiritual. The installation of padukas, a cheap and traditional wooden<br />
footwear, recalls Gandhi, who used to walk twenty miles each day.<br />

"Our Time for a Future Caring” is a group exhibition curated by Roobina Karode for the Indian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia. This exhibition critically engages with the figure and philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi, reflecting on his enduring impact and the contemporary relevance of his ideals. Gandhi acts as focal point for different artistic interpretations, delving into broader issues of India’s history and<br />
nationhood, as well more conceptual investigations into notions of freedom, nonviolence, action and agency. The exhibition forms part of India’s celebrations of ‘150 years of Gandhi’ and showcases artworks spanning from the twentieth century to the present day by Nandalal Bose, MF Husain, Atul<br />
Dodiya, Jitish Kallat, Ashim Purkayastha, Shakuntala Kulkarni, Rummana Hussain and GR<br />
Iranna.<br />

  • VENICE, ITALY - 9 MAY 2019: "Covering Letter" (2012,<br />
Fogscreen Projection) by artist Jitish Kallat (1974) is seen here at the group exhibition "Our Time for a Future Caring", curated by Roobina Karode for the Indian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy, on May 9th 2019.<br />
<br />
Jitish Kallat’s video installation invites visitors to step into<br />
a forgotten moment in history, a letter sent from Gandhi to Hitler, projected onto fog. The letter sent<br />
before the start of the Second World War is addressed ‘Dear Friend’ and in revisiting this historical<br />
document, Kallat reflects on the possibilities of peace and tolerance in a world plagued by violence and<br />
like Dodiya, the traces Gandhi has left behind. This work is on display in Europe for the first time.<br />
