“MARLENE DUMAS. OPEN-END” 23 March 2022 – 08 January 2023
The open-end exhibition is curated by Caroline Bourgeois in collaboration with Marlene Dumas. Considered one of the most influential artists in the contemporary art scene, she was born in 1953 in Cape Town, South Africa where she grew up and studied fine arts during the brutal apartheid regime. A crucial aspect of Dumas’ work is the use of images from which he draws inspiration, from newspapers, magazines, film or Polaroid stills taken personally. Love and death, gender and racial issues, innocence and guilt, violence and tenderness, these are some of the themes of his work, in which the intimate sphere is combined with socio-political issues, news events or the history of art. All his production is based on the awareness that the endless flow of images from which we are invested daily interferes with the perception of ourselves and our way of reading the world.

BRUCE NAUMAN: CONTRAPPOSTO STUDIES 23 May 2021 – 27 November 2022
The exhibition in Venice is focused on a series of recent video installation that Nauman has developed in the last five years and are related to a single channel video from 1968, “Walk with Contrapposto.” The show includes a comprehensive survey of that series along with a number of earlier performances, installations and videos that provide the overall context for the recent work. From the 1960s to today, Bruce Nauman has constantly experimented with different artistic languages – from photography to performance, sculpture and video – to explore and mine their potentialities in a body of work that relentlessly explores the human condition while interrogating the very definition of what constitutes artistic practice.

Both museums: from 10.00 to 19.00 (last access at 18.00).
Open every day, except Tuesdays.
