"After we bought the palazzo, we lay on the floor in the music room to look at the details in the ceilings-and to understand what we just bought. That spirit of curiosity has guided curatorial decisions, as they placed artworks in conversation with ornate interiors."
"The Only True Protest Is Beauty, the exhibition curated by Van Noten with Geert Bruloot, is named for a quote by American folk musician and activist Phil Ochs. The palazzo's former chapel hosts contemporary sacred heart assemblages by artist Ann Carrington, made with upcycled silver cutlery."
"For the grand salon, Van Noten asked local atelier Wave Murano Glass to create a large table with no wood or metal structure, to challenge the idea of what glass is capable of."
The Fondazione Dries Van Noten opened on April 25, focusing on celebrating handmade art, fashion, and craft. The inaugural exhibition, curated by Van Noten and Geert Bruloot, features works from 50 artists. The palazzo, Palazzo Pisani Moretta, serves as a backdrop for contemporary art, with installations that engage with its ornate interiors. Notable pieces include Ann Carrington's silver cutlery assemblages and a glass table by Wave Murano Glass, reflecting a spirit of curiosity and innovation in design and presentation.
