Julie Mehretu
Ensemble
With Nairy Baghramian, Huma Bhabha, Robin Coste Lewis, Tacita Dean, David Hammons, Paul Pfeiffer, and Jessica Rankin
Curated by Caroline Bourgeois, Chief Curator of the Pinault Collection and Julie Mehretu
17 March 2024 - 6 January 2025 | Palazzo Grassi - Pinault Collection
The exhibition brings together a selection of more than sixty paintings and prints by Mehretu produced over a period of twenty-five years, including some of her most recent canvases produced between 2021 and 2023. Presented on both floors of Palazzo Grassi, the exhibition includes works from the Pinault Collection as well as loans from the artist's collection, international museums and private collections.
Mehretu's artistic practice has always taken the form of various forms of collaboration and exchanges with other artists. The works of Mehretu are presented alongside those of seven artists and authors, thus bringing the field of painting into dialogue with those of poetry, sculpture, film, voice and music.
Pierre Huyghe
Liminal
Curated by Anne Stenne
17 March - 24 November 2024 | Punta Della Dogana - Pinault Collection
Liminal presents major new creations alongside works from the last ten years, particularly from the Pinault Collection. Huyghe has always questioned the relation between the human and the non-human, and conceives his works as speculative fictions from which emerge other modalities of world. Fictions, to him, are “vehicles for accessing the possible or the impossible—what could be or could not be.”
Huyghe transforms Punta della Dogana into a dynamic, sensitive milieu perpetually evolving. The exhibition is a transitory state inhabited by human and non-human creatures and becomes the site of formation of subjectivities that are constantly learning, changing, and hybridizing. Their memories are expanding with information captured from events, both perceptible and imperceptible, that permeate the exhibition.
Maurizio Cattelan
Holy See Pavillion
With Bintou Dembélé, Simone Fattal, Claire Fontaine, Sonia Gomes, Corita Kent, Marco Perego & Zoe Saldana, and Claire Tabouret
Curated by Chiara Parisi and Bruno Racine
20 April - 24 November 2024 | Holy See Pavilion, 60th Venice Biennale
A large outdoor work by Maurizio Cattelan is one of the focal points of "With My Eyes," the Vatican’s exhibition for the Holy See Pavilion at the Biennale. The exhibition is situated within a women’s prison on Giudecca Island and is dedicated to the theme of human rights and marginalized communities.
Cattelan’s contributions include creating a work on the prison chapel’s façade and collaborating on an editorial feature co-created with inmates, which will be published in the Biennale-focused issue of L’Osservatore di Strada, a monthly newspaper published by the Vatican.
Andrea Fraser
I just don’t like eggs! Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections
Curated by Andrea Viliani and Vittoria Pavesi
13 April 2024 - 22 February 2025 | Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare, Bolzano
I just don’t like eggs! Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections is the first solo exhibition ever devoted by an Italian institution to the research of Andrea Fraser.
The exhibition is the first survey solely dedicated to Fraser’s works investigating collectors, collecting, the art market, and the intersections between private and public collections. The project includes works spanning the artist’s overall research, from the late 80s to her recent productions, including a new artwork especially conceived for this exhibition. Taken from the script of Fraser’s performance May I Help You?, the title I just don’t like eggs! evokes the language and mentality of collecting as an enactment of taste, desire, distinction, possession, categorization, negation, exclusivity, and the exercise of choice as an expression of power.
