Vedova The Revolutionary

The surprising exhibition at the M9 - Museo del '900 in Mestre
by Fabio Marzari

A veritable revolution at the M9 Museum: its protagonist – art by painter Emilio Vedova in an exhibition co-produced by Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova and M9 Museum and curated by Gabriella Belli.

The beautiful exhibition uses all the 1300 square metres on the museum’s third floor to allow visitors to interact with the art in novel way. The art invites joy and sharing, and will work wonders to join Vedova’s beloved city of Venice with the Mestre, which maintains a growing place of importance in the world of art and architecture exhibitions. Rivoluzione Vedova is itself concurrent with the Architecture Biennale, and will be open until late November.
Says Belli: “The tthird floor at M9 is a place of amazing experience. The introductory part at the second floor is an ideal link between the Museum’s permanent collection and the current exhibition. Using audio and video resources, we will learn about the art’s context and the artist’s place within the history of twentieth-century art. No revolution ever took place for no reason, rather, they result from conditions that look for the best chances to express and tell the story of a new epoch. This is, for us, the meaning of Rivoluzione Vedova.
