Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia Announces 2017 Exhibition Calendar
The 2017 exhibition lineup for the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia (MUVE) has been unveiled, aligning with the 57th Venice Biennale, which Christine Macel is curating. The early exhibitions will showcase William Merritt Chase at Ca' Pesaro, Jheronimus Bosch at Palazzo Ducale, and notable graphic works from the Prat Collection at Museo Correr. Starting in April, the MUVE Contemporaneo initiative will delve into contemporary art history. In May, nine exhibitions will launch alongside the Biennale, including Intuition at Palazzo Fortuny, Shirin Neshat's portraits at Museo Correr, and Douglas Gordon's video at Palazzo Ducale. June will feature David Hockney's portraits at Ca' Pesaro, followed by the Sonnabend Collection in July, the Al Thani Collection in September, and the museum's pearl collection in December.
