SHIFTING WATERS ERES FOUNDATION

Built on islands and wooden piles and exposed to the tides for centuries, Venice is a laboratory of coexistence with water and, today, a privileged site for observing the increasingly critical relationship between the hydrosphere and the anthroposphere. The seven participating artists – Mike Bouchet, Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Sonia Leimer, Sadamasa Motonaga, Pamela Rosenkranz, Lawrence Weiner – explore this tension: glass sculptures evoking the former power of the Serenissima, an installation that becomes a memorial to the sinking city, a multisensory underwater environment, and filigree-like works intertwining technology and nature.
