On the occasion of the first day of the Tatiana Trouvé exhibition, Palazzo Grassi presents a live performance by the renowned musician and composer Warren Ellis. The musician offers the public a solo improvisation on the violin, welcoming visitors to the atrium of Palazzo Grassi. Warren Ellis, from Ballarat, a mining town not far from Melbourne, is a great violinist and composer who has been collaborating with Nick Cave for thirty years. As a child, he has developed a very intense relationship with things: he collects, for example, lead counterweights, the kind attached to the rims of cars to balance them, and keeps them in a cardboard box hidden under his bed, a veritable treasure chest, which over time fills up with comic books, knick-knacks, lighters, clocks, figurines, cassettes, pocket sharpeners, all more or less battered or broken. Ellis’ relationship with the practice of music, moreover, also began with a chance find: an old, puffing accordion found in a rubbish dump.
