Shifting Vision

The Jewish Museum of Venice will be hosting a contemporary art exhibition titled ‘I confini dell'alterità / The Contours of Otherness’ from April 21st. Ten international artists will be showing their work in three different areas of the city’s 16th century ghetto coinciding with the 60th International Biennial Art Exhibition for 2024 with the theme ‘Stranieri ovunque/Foreigners Everywhere’ The exhibition is promoted and organised by the Jewish Community of Venice in conjunction with Opera Laboratori and Shifting Vision. The curators of the exhibition are Marcella Ansaldi, Jemma Elliott-Israelson and Avi Ifergan. The exhibition’s leitmotif has a historical link with the whole Cannaregio neighbourhood, where the Jewish Ghetto was established in 1516 as a place of confinement for Jews to whom the Venetian Republic never granted the right of citizenship. Migration, Identity, and Cultural memory are the themes that the artists and works address. The exhibition will be held in three areas of the Ghetto. The artists showing in Spazio Ikona are Jonathan Prince, Amit Berman, Elisheva Reva, Flora Temnouche and Danny Avidan; in Spazio Lab, Lucas and Tyra Morten, Lihi Turjeman, Deborah Werblud and Laure Prouvost; and in Spazio Azzime Yael Toren. The artists showing in Spazio Ikona and Spazio Lab are curated by Jemma Elliott-Israelson, while those showing in Spazio Azzime are curated by Avi Ifergan, with the coordination and assistance of Nadia Gheras. The exhibition will run until October 27th 2024 and will be accompanied by a catalogue in two languages, published by Sillabe.   @shiftingvision @jewish_venice @ghetto_venezia_museo_ebraico @opera_laboratori @galerie.philia @jemmimap @iferganavi @ansaldimarcella @sillabe_edizioni @lucastyramorten @studioprouvostsocialclub @lihi_turjeman @_danny_avidan @amitber @jonathanprincesculpture @elish_______ @flora_temnouche @yael_toren #debrawerblud

We are excited to announce “Future Relics”, a collaborative project with @galerie.philia and @themediciarchiveproject. This visionary initiative will bring contemporary designers to Florence, where they will embark on a creative journey, designing cutting-edge pieces inspired by the rich legacy preserved in the Medici Archives. Esteemed designers such as Pierre de Valk, Andrés Monnier, Kar, Elsa Foulon, Laura Pasquino, Morghen, and Karu will delve into the visual and philosophical aspects of the archive, translating its essence into innovative and visionary design pieces. #ShiftingVision #GaleriePhilia #MediciArchive #ContemporaryDesign #HistoricalInspiration #FutureRelics
