We All Needed The Same Sun: Thirteen Curators Explore Human-Nature Relations at A plus A Gallery, Venice
At the A plus A Gallery in Venice, the group exhibition titled We All Needed The Same Sun showcases the works of thirteen artists from the International Course at the School for Curatorial Studies Venice. Instead of imparting environmental lessons, the exhibition critiques anthropocentrism. Featured pieces include Matilde Sambo's zoomorphic sculptures, Simone Carraro's archival installation Il bambino con le branchie (2026), Daria Dmytrenko's hybrid sculptures, Jonathas de Andrade's video O Peixe (2026), Anna Marzuttini's ceramic fungi Komorebi (2025), and Sebastiano Zafonte's Nidi (2026). Additionally, Paola Cenati's silkscreen-on-wood La caduta di un albero (2025) and Glenda Leone's video installation broaden geological viewpoints. The show advocates for shared responsibility in observation and fosters intimacy among different species. Text by Valeria Eneide; photographs by Clelia Cadamuro.
