Video Art from the 1980s Generation Takes Over Verona's Renaissance Giardino Giusti
Giardino Giusti in Verona, a beautiful Renaissance garden from the 16th century and a finalist for Italy's most beautiful park, is kicking off its first contemporary art exhibition as part of ArtVerona 2019. Running from October 11 to November 22, 2019, the show, called 'To be Played,' features video art from ten 1980s-born artists, including Helen Dowling, Nina Fiocco, and Adelita Husni-Bey. This initiative is a collaboration between Giardino Giusti, Urbs Picta, and the Milan archive Careof, focusing on the mix of documentary, cinema, fiction, and experimental visuals. Verona’s Councillor for Culture, Francesca Briani, shared her excitement about the blend of modern art and the garden's rich history.
