Patrick Saytour's 'Le Pli et le Temps' at Palazzo Vendramin Grimani in Venice

exhibition · 2026-06-07

French artist Patrick Saytour presents 'Le Pli et le Temps' at Palazzo Vendramin Grimani in Venice, an exhibition that juxtaposes his folded, burned, and sun-bleached works with the historic interiors of the former doge's palace. The show runs from June 7, 2026, and is organized by the Fondazione Giorgio Cini. Saytour's practice, rooted in the Supports/Surfaces movement, uses pleating, scorching, and solar exposure to create abstract compositions that engage with architectural space. The exhibition is part of the Venice Biennale collateral events.
