Time:lapse Exhibition at AplusA in Venice Explores the Present Through Ritual and Awareness
The AplusA gallery in Venice is currently showcasing an exhibition titled "Time:lapse," which is curated by students from the International Summer School in Curatorial Practice 2025, hosted by the School for Curatorial Studies Venice. This exhibit delves into the feeling of the present, and the name itself calls to mind a digital clock. The curators include a diverse group of students like Viola Amico and Sean Burke. A standout work is Robert Blatt's "The Book of Hours" from 1984, which highlights the 1,440 minutes in a day. The curators have also set up a research area in the gallery to encourage a more thoughtful, screen-free experience. Since 2004, the School has aimed to blend theory with hands-on practice.
