ongoing Lorenzo Quinn

The show

It is called "Anime di Venezia – Souls of Venice", the new creation by Lorenzo Quinn which will be exhibited in Venice, from 20 April to 15 September 2024, in honor of the celebrations of the Anniversary of Marco Polo 700 years after his death, coinciding with the 60th Art Biennial.

The work, made up of 15 statues made of mesh, a metal weave, represents some of the most significant Souls in the centuries of the Serenissima, sealing the union and symbiosis between the City and all its Arts, expressed by the Venetians who l 'they made immortal.

The installation will be located in the Androne of Ca' Rezzonico, the splendid and imposing building overlooking the Grand Canal designed by Baldassare Longhena, home to the 18th century Venetian Museum: a surprising and iconic project that inextricably marks the bond of love between Venice and Lorenzo.

"Anime di Venezia – Souls of Venice" is in fact an absolute novelty in Quinn's production: for the first time a work with a historical background, designed specifically for the museum, "comes to life" thanks also to the introduction of a contemporary instrument: augmented reality, expressed through a poetic and magical vision.

The project, in collaboration with the Civic Museums Foundation, enjoys the patronage of the City of Venice and the Committee for the Celebrations of Marco Polo 700.

In addition to the replica of Marco Polo already present in the Doge's Palace, the visitor at Ca' Rezzonico will be able to admire the metal mesh statues of Lorenzo Tiepolo, Caterina Corner, Veronica Franco, Elena Lucrezia Corner Piscopia, Carlo Goldoni, Antonio Vivaldi, Marietta Barovier, Elisabetta Caminer Turra, Andrea Palladio, Antonio Canova, Tiziano Vecellio, Rosalba Carriera, Giacomo Casanova and the "universal" Marco Polo symbolically represented by the figure of the Gondolier who will invite everyone to intervene to "save Venice and the whole world".
