Lorenzo Pingitore. Proporzioni

During the Venice Biennale Opening Week, the online art marketplace Kooness.com is delighted to present: “Proporzioni”, a project by the young talented Italian artist Lorenzo Pingitore, curated by Carola Cometto, on Monday May the 8th, 2017.
As protagonist, the artistic installation by Lorenzo Pingitore (b. 1985, Turin) entitled “Proporzioni”, placed within the Church of the Abbey of Misericordia, an intimate and elegant location in the heart of Venice. Founded in the 10th century, the Church of the Abbey of Misericordia is located in the Sestiere Cannaregio, and faced the elegant Campo de l’Abbazia, a typical Venetian campiello with a central well.

Proporzioni, transformed and concealed, unveiled and hidden by the installation enclosed within the church. Large volumes fill the echoing empty space of the nave, by catching the spectator's eyes upward, inviting him to enter. Throughout the central space, irregular but tidily arranged shapes change the church's plant, reflecting its architecture and the large volumes overlapping it. New proportions are created, the church’s architecture and all the elements composing the installation blend together, as a landscape enclosed within a rough sea.

In the form of a spring cocktail during the artistic fruition, the entire event is realized thanks to the extraordinary collaboration of Valorizzazioni Culturali.
Main sponsors of the event: the prestigious Made in Italy brand Falconeri and the historical Champagne producer Perrier-Jouët. 

Invitation-only cocktail from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm, May 8, 2017
