Fondazione In Between Art Film, Complesso dell’Ospedaletto, Venice
17 April - 24 November 2024
Nebula is a group exhibition curated by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi that features 8 new site-specific video installations commissioned to Giorgio Andreotta Calò (1979, Italy), Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme (1983, Cyprus/1983, USA), Saodat Ismailova (1981, Uzbekistan), Cinthia Marcelle and Tiago Mata Machado (1974, Brazil/1973, Brazil), Diego Marcon (1985, Italy), Basir Mahmood (1985, Pakistan/Netherlands), Ari Benjamin Meyers (1972, USA), and Christian Nyampeta, and produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film.
Nebula, the Latin word for “cloud” or “fog,” is the second chapter of a series of exhibitions organized by the Fondazione in Venice that began with Penumbra in 2022 and explores states of vision and extra-visual perception. The Fondazione returns to the same venue, the Complesso dell’Ospedaletto, this time transforming its spaces into a sensory architecture, incorporating the Church of Santa Maria dei Derelitti, the frescoed concert room and the old pharmacy, as well as unveiling a previously unseen wing of the modern retirement home.
Nebula further deepens the narrative and spatial interaction between the newly commissioned video installations and the architecture. The artists have been invited to conceive their works in close structural, visual, and sonic dialogue with the spaces. Developed over two years, the exhibition makes explicit the methodology of the Fondazione in commissioning and producing moving images works, one that nurtures long-lasting relationships of curatorial and production support to the artists.
