Carlo Scarpa: Venini 1932-1947

Sergi, 6 Ocak 2013 tarihine kadar uzatıldı.

The exhibition Carlo Scarpa. Venini 1932 – 1947, curated by Marino Barovier reconstructs Carlo Scarpa’s creative development as artistic director of the Venini Glassworks from 1932 to 1947.

Due to run until 29 November 2012, the Scarpa exhibition is the first public event of the Le Stanze del Vetro (Rooms for Glass), a long-term cultural project launched by the Giorgio Cini Foundation in collaboration with Pentagram Stiftung for the purpose of studying and showcasing the art of Venetian glassmaking in the 20th century.

The building chosen for Le Stanze del Vetro (Rooms for Glass) exhibition is the left wing of the ex-Convitto (a former boarding school) on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore. With 650 square metres of exhibition space, the exhibition centre will not only host exhibitions but also conferences, workshops and other events dedicated to glass.

The renovation of this long-unutilised building was designed by Selldorf Architects (www.selldorf.com), in collaboration with architects Fabrizio Cattaruzza and Francesco Millosevich.
