Inspired by Lauren Bon\u2019s text-based neon work on view in the courtyard \u2013 from which it borrows its title \u2013 this exhibition, together with its accompanying public programming, 1001 Stories for Survival<\/em>, addresses the environmental crisis in the age of climate change, with a focus on the Mediterranean Sea \u2013 of particular urgency for Venice, endangered by sea level rise. The show brings together over 73 artists of different generations and cultural backgrounds whose selected works, in a wide range of media, invite critical awareness on the fragility of nature and human life while poetically invoking the regeneration of living systems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the central space of the church, Wolfgang Laib<\/strong>\u2019s Passageway<\/em> (2013) sets the exhibition\u2019s prevailing meditative tone as it offers a poetic rumination on the human being\u2019s fleeting journey in life. Lauren Bon<\/strong>\u2019s site-specific installation Inverted Mediterranean Pine<\/em> (2019), made of steel, papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9, and painted with carbon sourced from the recent California wildfires, is poised over a pre-existing hole in the church floor, revealing the foundation and water beneath. Bon\u2019s sound-scape, Oratorio Mare Nostrum<\/em> (2019), connects the lagoon and the moon cycles in a layered aural map of the Mediterranean Sea. Her sculpture St. Jerome\u2019s Study<\/em> (2007), comprising a desk, books, and objects covered in tar, recalls themes of translation and obliteration, while drawing attention to the threat of oil spills on our sea. Shoja Azari<\/strong> and Shahram Karimi<\/strong>\u2019s video projection on painting, Untitled (Meditation on water surface)<\/em> (2007), invokes a quiet moment of contemplation. While exploring the relationship between nature and technology, Julian Charri\u00e8re<\/strong>\u2019s new work from his ongoing series Metamorphism<\/em> (2016-2019) poignantly amplifies the subjects of ephemerality and transformation. Shirin Neshat<\/strong>\u2019s video Sarah<\/em> (2016) creates a physical and emotional landscape, where the relationship between Woman and water is powerfully brought to the fore.<\/p>\n Present with its staff during the course of the exhibition in a dedicated space (Sale delle Colonne, whose entrance is just next to the Church), the New York- based Brooklyn Rail<\/em> journal \u2013 a radical and free publication \u2013 re-creates its \u201csocial environment\u201d in Venice. Presented within the Brooklyn Rail<\/em>\u2019s working space are Phong Bui<\/strong>\u2019s portraits In Conversation #1<\/em> (2011-2019), as well as The Wall of Offering: To Venice With Love<\/em>, an altar-like installation of paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculptures by a wide range of established and emerging artists. Among the works included are Kiki Smith<\/strong>\u2019s Singer<\/em> (2008), a sculpture of a young woman holding a bouquet of flowers, and Lauren Bon\u2019s Honey Collection from the Environmentally Endangered Mediterranean Countries<\/em> (2007-2019). Also in this space are Justin Brice Guariglia<\/strong>\u2019s Exxtinction<\/em> (2019) and Newton Harrison<\/strong>\u2019s A Meditation on the Mediterranean<\/em> (2019) alongside his Book of Lagoons<\/em> (1974-1984), which visitors are invited to flip through.<\/p>\n On view in the courtyard is Lauren Bon\u2019s neon work Artists Need to Create on the Same Scale the Society Has the Capacity to Destroy<\/em> (2019), as well as Maya Lin<\/strong>\u2019s Water Water Everywhere, Not a Drop to Drink<\/em> (2019), a site-specific installation of blown-glass dew droplets, poetically encapsulates the theme of water. The courtyard is also the site of performan-ces: during the opening and closing receptions, Rirkrit Tiravanija<\/strong>, Tomas Vu<\/strong>, and Sarah Sze<\/strong> will stage their cooking performances using multi-functional cooking and ping-pong table by the artists that remains on display in the courtyard.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.1.1″ custom_margin=”0px||50px|” custom_padding=”0px||0px|” prev_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”3.1.1″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_gallery admin_label=”Gallery del post” gallery_ids=”6423,6425,6427,6429″ gallery_captions=”,,,” show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”3.1.1″ pagination_font_size_tablet=”51″ pagination_line_height_tablet=”2″ zoom_icon_color=”#f49c15″ hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” \/][et_pb_button admin_label=”Mostre” button_url=”https:\/\/www.gioiellinascostidivenezia.it\/en\/exhibitions\/” button_text=”BACK TO EXHIBITIONS” button_alignment=”center” module_id=”gn_button_orange” module_class=”gn_button” _builder_version=”3.1.1″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color_hover=”#ffffff” button_bg_color_hover=”#52545a” button_border_color_hover=”#52545a” custom_margin=”50px|||” global_module=”2663″ saved_tabs=”all” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Curated by Phong Bui and Francesca Pietropaolo
