Venice: The Pool NYC – Wide Shot exhibition and party. Arrows lead the way to the pop-up gallery The Pool NYC which is back in Venice with a group exhibition called Wide Shot,
until June 30 in Campiello Giustinian. The gallery conceives the
space as a contemporary Wunderkammer, in which it displays different
types of works all related to one another for their quality and manufacture,
and various media. Wide Shot is the watchful eye of the camera with
focus both on the work of the artists with whom the gallery has been working with
as well as new artists.
The Pool NYC – Wide Shot exhibition. Now in it’s fourth years The Pool NYC groups
together the work of renowned artists like Tadao Ando, young artists like
Alison Blickle, and the one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture made of reclaimed
materials by Ilaria Venturini Fendi, in order to reproduce a nowadays version
of the Cabinet of Curiosities. Infact a Wonder-Room with 'an encyclopedic
collection of types of objects whose categorical boundaries were yet to be
defined’: objects included in these art-rooms belong to Natural History,
Archaeology, Religion, Art, and Antiquities.
