Fondazione in between art film announces Nebula an exhibition with 8 new video installations commissioned and produced on the occasion of the Biennale arte 2024 17 april – 24 november 2024 complesso dell’Ospedaletto, Venice

Fondazione In Between Art Film is pleased to announce Nebula, a new group exhibition opening to the public on 17 April 2024 at the Complesso dell’Ospedaletto in Venice on the occasion of the 60th International Art 
Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. 
Curated by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi—respectively Artistic Director and Curator at the Fondazione—Nebula will feature 8 new site specific video installations commissioned to Giorgio Andreotta Calò (1979, Italy), Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme (1983, Cyprus/1983, USA), Saodat Ismailova (1981, Uzbekistan), Cinthia Marcelle and Tiago Mata Machado (1974, Brazil/1973, Brazil), Diego Marcon (1985, Italy), Basir Mahmood (1985, Pakistan/Netherlands), Ari Benjamin Meyers (1972, USA), and Christian Nyampeta. 
All eight works are commissioned and produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film, the initiative conceived by Beatrice Bulgari to promote the culture of moving images and support international artists, institutions and theorists that explore the dialogue between disciplines and time-based media.
Nebula, the Latin word for “cloud” or “fog,” is the second chapter of a series of exhibitions organized by the Fondazione in Venice that began with Penumbra in 2022 and explores states of vision and extra-visual perception. 
The Fondazione returns to the same venue, the Complesso dell’Ospedaletto, this time transforming its spaces into a sensory architecture, incorporating 
the Church of Santa Maria dei Derelitti, the frescoed concert room and the old pharmacy, as well as unveiling a previously unseen wing of the modern retirement home.
Nebula further deepens the narrative and spatial interaction between the newly commissioned video installations and the architecture. The artists have been 
invited to conceive their works in close structural, visual, and sonic dialogue with the spaces. Developed over two years, the exhibition makes explicit the methodology of the Fondazione in commissioning and producing moving images works, one that nurtures long-lasting relationships of curatorial and production support to the artists.
Beatrice Bulgari, President of Fondazione In Between Art Film, said: “It is an honor for us to return to Venice and the Complesso dell’Ospedaletto after the success of Penumbra. It is also an opportunity to broaden our ongoing reflection on the role that moving images can have in our society as a creative means of expression. If Penumbra looked at semi-darkness as the threshold 
between light and obscurity, Nebula goes beyond this dichotomy and, by deploying the expansive metaphor of the fog, tell us about the possibilities that art offers to find new poetic and existential coordinates within our otherwise disorientating times. I am looking forward to sharing with the international audience of the Biennale the works of the artists who have accompanied us on 
this journey into the unknown.”
The exhibition concept is inspired by the phenomenon of fog as a material and metaphorical space where visual orientation is reduced, and different sensorial tools are required to produce and situate our understanding of what surrounds us. Within this framework, the works in Nebula embrace forms of psychological, socio-political, technological, and historical fragmentation, suggesting possible ways of navigation through a present crossed by forces that, like fog, feel like both immaterial and insurmountable. The works in the exhibition, in this sense, look at the possible internal and individual responses in the face of events that condition the movements of existences. Finally, by placing the dissemination of sounds and images through the space at the heart of its scenography, Nebula also proposes a reflection on the pervasive production and distribution of images, information, hopes, and fears. 
Alessandro Rabottini, Artistic Director, and Leonardo Bigazzi, Curator, at Fondazione In Between Art Film, said: “It was once again Venice that offered us the inspiration to contextualise eight newly commissioned video installations by international artists. In Venice, fog is the liminal space in which water and sky merge with each other and light becomes a diffuse and mysterious 
presence. It is a meteorological phenomenon that proves how fallacious our sense of perspective and understanding can be. Thanks to the visions of the 
participating artists, Nebula expands the original concept of disorientation into a myriad of meanings: from the global dimension of migration to the individual perception of mortality, from the overwhelming structures of economy to the imponderable consequences of technology.”
Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli and his Milanese studio 2050+ have once again been invited to interpret and spatialize the curatorial concept through the 
exhibition design. Their interventions will stage the visual, acoustic, tactile, and mental conditions of nebulousness with synesthetic splits and junctures 
between the works that at times emphasize, while at others break free from, the original architecture.
Nebula will be accompanied by a cross-disciplinary symposium curated by Bianca Stoppani, Editor at the Fondazione, that will involve the artists featured in the exhibition and expand the conversations around their practice, via panels with international curators and thinkers.
Complesso dell’Ospedaletto is a cultural venue part of Ospedaletto Contemporaneo promoted by Venews Arts.
