Galleria del Cavallino: 17 years after closure, a retrospective at Palazzetto Tito
There's a fresh exhibition at Palazzetto Tito in Venice, originally shown at Museo del Paesaggio, that dives into the legacy of the Galleria del Cavallino, which ran from 1966 to 2003. Curated by Stefano Cecchetto, it reassesses the gallery's significant impact, particularly in video and performance art. After Carlo Cardazzo's unexpected death, his children, Paolo and Gabriella, stepped in to preserve its editorial and exhibition work while embracing new media. The exhibition features artists like Tancredi, Bruno Saetti, and David Hockney, along with a photo series by Mario Sillani on Marina Abramović and Ulay. The gallery's archive is on loan to Fondazione Cini, while its film collection is at University of Udine. Various essays and personal stories document its rich history.
