“Acque” – Giorgio Vigna

Acque_Giorgio Vigna_ Ph Francesca Moscheni

Giorgio Vigna will be one of the protagonists of the Venice Glass Week, the first international festival dedicated to the art of glass, with particular attention to that of Murano.
The Acque installation will be exhibited at Palazzo Fortuny’s Noble Floor and was created by Giorgio Vigna with works created between 2013 and 2015. Acque belongs to a research project with which the artist explores the possibilities of glass in the relationship between water and fire. With this work he transforms simple copper containers into signs of mystical value. The first works of this research were exhibited at Palazzo Fortuny in 2010 on the occasion of his solo show Altre Nature.

  • Studio la Città inaugurates the exhibition Art Attack/Unfolded on Saturday, June 11, 2022, presenting a series of new works by Stuart Arends, realized for this exhibition. Until August 5, 2022. Arends returns to that original form and imbues it with a renewed energy. He opens the boxe’s edges in a new way and gives a fresh twist to the boxes, now dotted with fingerprints and with glimpses of words appearing under the paint. The same words that bestow the works of a title.

These, masterfully proportioned, layered and mixed with resin, result in a study of colour that can hardly be enclosed in a specific category. In the gallery from 11 June to August 5, 2022.
