About the exhibition “VENICE II VENICE”:
First stimulated by the discourse and artistry of the Fucina degli Angeli
in the mid-1950s (a collaboration partly inspired and organized by Peggy
Guggenheim, between the glass masters of Murano and artists such as Pablo
Picasso, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, and others), the GALLERIA VETRO &
ARTE in Venice and GrossArt with PHARMAKA in Los Angeles have embarked
upon an artistic exchange between these two cities well beyond the scope
of the original Fucina. Meant to investigate this incomparable sense of
place through a variety of media (oil and canvas, mixed media and board,
metal and glass), new works and collaborations from this on-going project
will be exhibited in both Venice, Italy, and Los Angeles, California,
starting the Summer of 2005.
The participating artist of the exhibitions in June 2005 in Venice and August 2005 in Los Angeles are: Richard Birt, Christopher Cousins, Shane Guffogg, John Scane and Vonn Cummings Sumner from California and Gino Baffo, Mauro Bonaventura, Valter Paties and Pino Signoretto from Italy.
