A Plus A Gallery Students Explore 'How Much Is Too Much' in Venice
A group exhibition organized by students of the curatorial and contemporary practices course at A Plus A gallery in Venice tackles the question 'how much is too much?' The show uses containment as a strategy to counter excess, featuring works by Giles Round, Benjamin Hirte, Oliver Czarnetta, and Vanessa Safavi. Round's all-over installation emphasizes the value of limits, while Hirte's minimal piece evokes necessary information channeling. Czarnetta's nesting doll-like structures suggest implosive dynamics—one of his works was stolen during the opening. Safavi's installation resembles a silent, powerless witness behind bars. The exhibition runs at A Plus A gallery in Venice.
