17th May -6th July 2008

In view of a complex strategy for increasing the value of glassware art, since Saturday 17th May 2008 Ca’ Pesaro has been holding the exhibition Sconfinamenti (Border violations) Exit – Entry and it is open to the public and can be visited with the museum ticket until 6th July 2008. Sconfinamenti exit-entry is an installation by Angelo Zennaro, and it was conceived and planned for Ca’ Pesaro. Completely hand-made by means of glass-melting technique, it represents a unique work of art in its genre for its dimensions and modalities of settlement in the architectural context. It is made of 24 glass many-coloured layers for a total surface of 24 square metres. Brittle and delicate, it is a work of art in which layers and images overlap and one is placed on top of the other one, involving the whole environment of Ca’ Pesaro: being observable from outside, it interacts with the water of the Canal Grande as well as with the light, leading our attention to the monumental Longhena entrance hall.
