Beatrice Burati Anderson Opens New Art Space in Venice During Biennale Preview
The Beatrice Burati Anderson Art Space & Gallery in Venice offered a special preview from May 10 to 21, 2017, during the Biennale events. Situated in a renovated 14th-century building at Corte Petriana near Campo San Polo, this 200-square-meter gallery is set to open fully in the fall. The preview showcased "Et in Terra," along with a notable performance named "Earth Exchange" by Gianfranco Baruchello, where he traded a cubic meter of soil from his foundation for Venetian soil. Six leading local artists presented their works together for the first time. The gallery will undergo renovations after May 21 before reopening post-summer.
