Two exhibitions explore ruins in Venice and Rome
In Italy, two exhibitions delve into the theme of ruins, which is gaining popularity in museums. "Futuruins," held at Palazzo Fortuny in Venice and curated by Daniela Ferretti and Dimitri Ozerkov, presents 250 pieces from the Civic Museums of Venice and the Hermitage, showcasing a range of artists from Dürer to contemporary talents such as Ludovica Carbotta and Renato Leotta. Meanwhile, in Rome, "Ilmondoinfine: vivere tra le rovine," curated by Ilaria Bussoni and her team, features a mix of artworks and installations, including a 13-meter sound tunnel. It emphasizes nature's resilience against human threats and includes works by Massimiliano Turco, Pietro Ruffo, collages by Christoph Keller, and an installation by Fiamma Montezemolo. A similar exhibition took place at Palazzo Altemps in 2015.
