Collateral events of the 53rd International Contemporary Art Exhibition.
Until 25th October 2009.

Summer and autumn can become the ideal seasons to decide of exploring Venice lagoon and its islands, in order to discover enchanting places covered with a blooming nature and trained by man thanks to few but majestic Seventeenth century buildings just restored and transformed into places for exhibitions. Beside a contact back with nature it is possible, then, also to deepen the cultural aspect thanks to a series of initiatives like, for instance, ‘Isola Mondo’. It is a Collective Exhibition, realized at the Torre Massimiliana at St. Erasmo, and it represents one of the four displaying places of the ‘Krossing’ Project, namely a collateral event of the 53rd International Art Exhibition, a project based, for the first time, on the cooperation among different institutions and public spaces of the Town Hall of Venice, placing some places of the complex Venetian territory, which are less known to the great public, in an ideal connection. Isola Mondo marks, on purpose, the specific features of the place where the exhibition is set up, namely an island known by few people, which looks very beautiful and plunged into the lagoon landscape, widespread as far as the historical town. It is, then, a collective exhibition aiming at focusing, in any case, our attention on a visual research related to the lagoon town, inviting artists of different generations, who are all joined up with one another by an intense exploration activity of artistic languages, to take part in it; it is an activity owed to not occasional relations with the town itself both in terms of personal education and of re-examining and interpretation of its historical, cultural and environmental features. The artists who will be presented are: Claudio Ambrosini, Michele Bazzana, Primoz Bizjak, Emilio Fantin, Interno 3, Maria Morganti, Margherita Morgantin, Michele Sambin, Maria Teresa Sartori, Serse, Nicola Toffolini, Luigi Viola.
