BERNAR VENET
1961...LOOKING FORWARD!
BIBLIOTECA NAZIONALE MARCIANA, VENICE, ITALY
20 APRIL – 16 JUNE 2024
The Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, located in Piazzetta San Marco, will host in the historic and prestigious Sala Sansoviniana – accessible to visitors through the Museo Correr – the exhibition 1961... LOOKING FORWARD! by Bernar Venet in collaboration with Art in Public. This exhibition, curated by Prof. Beate Reifenscheid, proposes a vision far removed from Venet's conceptually radical beginnings, moving away from any mainstream art of the early 1960s, and focusing on his influential statements for art since then. 1961...LOOKING FORWARD! will feature the artist's iconic Tar paintings and Cardboard reliefs, as well as two impressive spatial installations.
