Excess and waste of plastic materials are opposed to the lack of certainties and values.<\/p>\n

We live in a world where the accumulation of indestructible waste and the irreversible damage they cause to Nature, leave indelible traces both in the environment and in the conscience of individuals who, today more than ever, have been deprived of their points of reference, of the certainties that, erroneously, were presumed to be immutable.<\/p>\n

Yet, these months of lockdown represent, at the same time, a unique opportunity to concretely experience the path of degrowth, the authentic value of frugality and the ability to think about sustainable and compatible processes with our environment.<\/p>\n

It is on these convictions that the works of Mara Fabbro and Alberto Pasqual are based in the exhibition curated by Alessandra Santin and hosted in the two exhibition rooms on the main floor of Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, a historic building owned by I.P.A.V. (Venetian Public Assistance Institutions), managed by Venezia Foundation for Personal Services through the \u201cHidden Jewels of Venice\u201d cultural enhancement project. The exhibition was organized by Dform Srl through its brand specialized in museum installations Theke Museum in Pasiano di Pordenone, in collaboration with the Giovanni Santin Foundation
\nOnlus.<\/p>\n

The installations of the two artists – constantly in dialogue with each other – document the existential void of Man and the substantial fullness of natural space, now suffocated by the plastic residues so intrusive in our society: from the open-air landfills of our suburbs, to the microplastics of the oceans. And to remind us of this the first installation, which welcomes visitors at the foot of the famous Scala: a shower of plastic bags evokes the “End of the fish”, suggesting the atrocious death by asphyxiation to which many marine species are condemned.<\/p>\n

But this eternal material can also be regenerated, it can take on new forms, soaring in all its abstract sinuosity in Alberto Pasqual’s \u201cPresenze-Absenze\u201d, ghosts of buildings in an apocalyptic scenario; or in the \u201cMetropolitan Membranes\u201d by Mara Fabbro, transparent panels where the \u201cvoid\u201d of the support is opposed to the \u201cfull\u201d of the matter of the pixels of sand, resin and glues that trace city maps. They are graphic, physical and visual representations of territories: crowded metropolises, desolate lands, cities crossed by rivers or overlooking the ocean, lands known and imagined at the same time.<\/p>\n

Alberto Pasqual’s material works express the dynamics of the transition from empty to full, from transparency to opacity, from lightness to weight. The artist entrusts to iron, concrete or polycarbonate the intrinsic and visual strength of the material on which he imprints an intense gesture that interrupts the geometry of the traditional figure creating an unexpected and exciting aesthetic. A gesture that, as Pasqual explains, has always been at the center of his artisan knowledge, a “darting and decisive gesture, like the snap of a
\nwhip. Like the blacksmith who hardens steel with primordial strength “.<\/p>\n

The visit to the exhibition is an itinerary that can lead to renewing our awareness of the fragility of Nature and the need to defend it, profoundly changing our personal habits and collective.<\/p>\n

In welcoming the works of the two Friulian artists in the spaces of Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, I.P.A.V. and Fondazione Venezia Servizi alla Persona wanted to testify that the commitment to building a sustainable future belongs to each of us; and that each of us is called to do our part.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will remain open from 7 May to 31 August 2021,<\/strong>
\nfrom 10:00 to 18:00 (consult the website for updates on the days open to the public).<\/strong><\/p>\n
