Esto Perpetua

An introspective group exhibition taking the cemetery of San Michele Island, in the Venetian lagoon, as a conceptual horizon, an emblematic space where endings and continuities coexist. Developed in collaboration with the Venice in Peril Fund and curated by its director Lavinia Filippi, the exhibition reflects on preservation not as maintenance of a fixed status quo, but as a precise and attentive negotiation between history, care and transformation. Through materiality, gesture and craft, Venice is approached here as a city that endures: continually negotiating, with fragility, by transforming decline into new layers of meaning.

Opening reception on Tuesday 21 April, 6–8pm

Artists:

Carolyn Barker- Mill

Toby Christian

Coco Crampton

Leonardo Frigo
