Lorenzo Marini's 'Dal Silenzio alla Parola' at Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa

exhibition · 2026-04-27

The Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice hosts Lorenzo Marini's solo exhibition 'Dal Silenzio alla Parola', curated by Sabino Maria Frassà. Running until August 30, the show is a retrospective spanning Marini's career from 1990s conceptual works to his 'Manifesto per la Liberazione delle Lettere' and the interactive installation 'AlphaCube'. Marini, who left the Accademia di Belle Arti in 1980 to study architecture and pursue advertising, describes Venice as the only city where he can discuss his artistic journey. He reconciles his background in form and content through comics, slogans, and the silence of white space, blending futurism with Eastern calligraphy. He argues that letters are born free, both social and individual, and it is time to celebrate their geometric beauty beyond mere reading and writing.
