Alessandro Verdi: floating in uncertainty
Arsenale, Castello 2126/A (
from June 7 to November 22
Life is on a collision course between space and time, between Eros and Thanatos, and in this clash Man seeks the intense sum of his emotions, as in Alessandro Verdi's works.

The event is curated by Achille Bonito Oliva.

AttaKim: ON-AIR
Palazzo Zenobio, Dorsoduro 2596 (Fondamenta del Soccorso)
from June 4 to November 22
Palazzo Zenobio will host AttaKim: ON-AIR by Korean artist Atta Kim. Atta Kim is a philosopher and a man of thought rather than an artist. He developed a unique view of the world through his own exceptional training for a long time. His photographs of Cities capture dichotomous natures of space, matter and time, hinting at a twilight reality into which everything will fade. Kim also shows a way in which photography can be used as a conceptual/abstract form.

It conjectures a post-human reality in which there are no more works, artists, or visitors, dominated by a senseless buzz that will never be understood.
