Art night Venice 2012

Enjoy a free evening of art, music and entertainment as Venice’s most prominent arts and cultural institutions swing open their doors.



A crescent moon, shaped unmistakably like the metal prow of a gondola immersed in a sea of indigo is the symbol chosen for Art Night Venice, scheduled for Saturday, June 23rd 2012.

From sunset until late at night the whole city will become an open air show, and several events - of all sort of arts, including music, cinema, literature and poetry - will attract art lovers around the canals and along the Grand Canal, which will turn into a fascinating stage.

Museums, galleries, foundations, public and private venues will swing open their doors and leave free entry to all who want to discover their secrets. Even the bookshops will open their spaces to visitors, and all the shops will stay open until late.

It will also be a way to know the city from other points of view: under the starry sky of the lagoon city, you can explore the hidden Venice and lesser known works of art.

EXQUISITE GLASS ORNAMENTS IN VENICE

The nineteenth-century glass revival

Venezia, 17 March – 20 JuneIstituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed ArtiPalazzo Loredan, Campo Santo Stefano

curated by Rosa Barovier Mentasti

The vast and variegated De Boos Smith collection, never previously exhibited, offers a comprehensive and fascinating panorama of nineteenth-century Murano production, from filigree to millefiore, from avventurine to chalcedony, that will also appeal to a non-expert audience.The exhibition will be grouped according to different techniques to allow a better understanding of how ancient works were revived in Murano in the nineteenth century.
An original Renaissance or Baroque piece, the prototype of the technique under consideration, will thus be displayed for each group as an example of the models studied by the nineteenth-century glassmakers.
The Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti will also present documentation of the prizes it awarded at the time to stimulate the glass revival. Given the small, sometimes tiny size of many of the pieces in the De Boos Smith collection, corresponding to the nineteenth-century taste for small, precious objects, a selection of about 300 pieces is envisaged.

Opening times: daily 11am – 6pm, closed on Tuesday
