FONDAZIONE IN BETWEEN ART FILM ANNOUNCES EXHIBITION OF NEW COMMISSIONED VIDEO INSTALLATIONS AT VENICE BIENNALE 2022
Fondazione #inbetweenartfilm is pleased to announce Penumbra, its first exhibition opening to the public on 20 April 2022 at the Ospedaletto and Church of Santa Maria dei Derelitti in Venice on the occasion of the 59th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia.
Curated by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi—respectively Artistic Director and Curator at the Fondazione—Penumbra will feature a series of new video and filmic productions commissioned to Karimah Ashadu (1985, UK), Jonathas De Andrade (1982, Brazil), Aziz Hazara (1992, Afghanistan), He Xiangyu (1986, China), Masbedo (Nicolò Massazza, 1973 and Iacopo Bedogni, 1970, Italy), James Richards (1983, UK), Emilija Škarnulytė (1987, Lithuania), and Ana Vaz (1986, Brazil). All eight works deal in different ways with pressing contemporary issues and are commissioned and produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film, an initiative founded by Beatrice Bulgari.
The exhibition Penumbra, the title of which evokes a space of partial illumination, takes inspiration from the rarefied atmosphere of Venice and the hybrid architecture of the Ospedaletto and Church of Santa Maria dei Derelitti, and turns its architecture into a cinematic machine. The show stages a reflection on moving images as a space of material and metaphorical transformation. Penumbra showcases the Fondazione’s mission to promote the culture of moving images and support international artists, institutions and theorists that explore the dialogue between disciplines and time-based media.
Beatrice Bulgari, President of Fondazione In Between Art Film, said: “As a passionate advocate of moving images and patron of institutions such as MAXXI Museum, Tate Modern, the Venice Biennale, and dOCUMENTA, I created Fondazione #inbetweenartfilm in 2019 to formally extend this support directly to international artists, curators and writers working in the field of moving images. Our commitment is increasingly focused on commissioning and producing original works: being in close contact with the artists through the process of realising their visions feeds into the Fondazione’s mission to further the role and potential of the moving image in our time. Venice is a unique city and its Biennale is an international stage, which makes it a natural choice for our first exhibition. I am pleased to bring eight new commissions to the attention of the global public, with the hope of contributing to the cultural life of the city as well as to the debate on some of the most pressing issues of our times.”
