Venice:
Palazzo Grimani – In Grimani – Ritsue Mishima Glass Works. In the
spaces on the piano nobile of the Museum of Palazzo Grimani, the site-specific
exhibition In Grimani, Ritsue Mishima
Glass Works, until September 29, curated by Giulio Manieri Elia and
Mishima Studio. Ritsue Mishima, born in Kyoto and a resident of Venice since 1989,
links her personal artistic expression
to the thousand-year-old techniques of glassmaking and, as she herself
asserts, could not create anywhere but Venice. Using exclusively transparent
material, which not only does not interrupt the flow of light, but also gathers
within it and encompasses all the other colors, Mishima expresses herself with
a contemporary language, by means of the artisanal culture of the glassmasters from Murano who “forge” her
ideas.
Palazzo
Grimani – In Grimani – Ritsue Mishima Glass Works. The spaces of Palazzo
Grimani, are not merely a receptacle, but the very source of evocation and
inspiration for the artist, refined in the course of lengthy and assiduous
visits to these spaces, in a personal effort to establish an emotional
understanding. This experience has led to the creation of 30 large works and 5 installations, conceived
specifically to dialogue with the Museum and its extraordinary decorations.
