Click here to book your free ticket.

CONTEMPORARY VENICE explores the evolving relationship between the body and the spaces we inhabit, reflecting on how identities are shaped, transformed, and hybridised within today’s cultural, physical, social, and urban environments. The exhibition unfolds through two curated sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.

MIXING IDENTITIES investigates the inner dimensions of identity through immersive artistic experiences, navigating the layered and often hidden territories of consciousness. The body emerges as a dynamic and relational system, continuously interacting with other bodies and spaces, generating meaning through movement, perception, and expression.

FUTURE LANDSCAPES opens onto mental and conceptual spaces where boundaries dissolve, and imagination expands. Here, landscapes become fluid constructions of thought, redefining limits between body, mind, soul, and environment, and transforming space into an open field of ideas and possibilities.

OUR LOCATION

Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello is one of the most well-known palaces of the Renaissance in Venice. It is a historical building dating back to the 16th century, and it has been owned by several noble Venetian families, as demonstrated by the frescoed ceilings, the artistic stuccos and the fine furniture that enriches its rooms. The Palace welcomes visitors with its beautiful private garden on the ground floor, and then it gathers the guests in its large first-floor salons, in which the past and present dialogue together. The restored Old Masters’ frescoes and the contemporary art masterpieces that are periodically shown in the exhibitions hosted here make Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello the perfect location for the balance between old and new, between ancient environment and contemporary art, architecture and design.

Today, the building is managed by ACIT Venice – the Italian-German Cultural Association – which is considered one of the most important intercultural associations in Europe. Thanks to the ACIT unceasing cultural activity, Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello nowadays has frequent collaborations with the Goethe Institute and with other local and international institutions, maintaining its ancient reputation. Because of these relations, it presents a huge program of memorable art exhibitions, conferences, congresses and concerts. Among the last institutional exhibitions is its participation in the 58th Venice Biennale with the Guatemala pavilion, the Dominican Republic pavilion and the Grenada pavilion. ITSLIQUID Group already had the pleasure of holding some festivals and exhibitions in Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, such as MORPHOS Festival and FUTURE IDENTITIES Festival, both in 2014.
