Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa launches window exhibitions for 15 resident artists in Venice

Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, one of Europe's oldest residency programs for young artists, is launching 'Vetrine accese' (Windows Lit) from January 27 to April 18, 2021. Due to the pandemic, the Galleria di Piazza San Marco remains closed, so the foundation is using its four display windows overlooking Seconda Calle de l'Ascension to showcase site-specific works by 15 artists selected for the 2019-2020 residency. The artists, originally scheduled for 2020, had their residencies extended to 2021. They will exhibit in four groups: Rémi Deymier, Giuseppe Di Liberto, Sara Manzan, Edoardo Ongarato (Jan 27–Feb 14); Giacomo Bianco, Francesco Casati, Giulia Deganello, Jingge Dong (Feb 17–Mar 7); Bruno Fantelli, Stefano Cescon, Federica Zanlucchi, Alessandro Zonta (Mar 10–28); Simone Carraro, Elena Della Corna, Angela Grigolato (Mar 31–Apr 18). Works span painting, video, photography, and print. The residency program was established in 1898 by Duchess Felicita Bevilacqua La Masa at Palazzo Ca' Pesaro. Today, the institution operates from Palazzetto Tito and remains the only municipal body in Venice dedicated to contemporary art.
