    "VENICE II VENICE"
    2005

    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.

    Stimolate inizialmente dall'esperienza e dall'arte della Fucina degli Angeli negli anni '50 (una collaborazione in parte ispirata e organizzata da Peggy Guggenheim tra i maestri vetrai di Murano ed artisti quali Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst ed altri), la GALLERIA VETRO & ARTE di Venezia e GrossArt con PHARMAKA di Los Angeles hanno avviato un inedito ed innovativo scambio artistico tra queste due città con ambizioni più ampie rispetto a quelle originali della Fucina. Con l'intento di approfondire le incomparabili sensazioni suscitate dai due luoghi attraverso tecniche diverse (olio su tela, materie e pigmenti, metallo e vetro), nuove opere e collaborazioni all'interno di questo progetto continuativo saranno in mostra a Venezia in Italia e a Los Angeles in California, dall'Estate del 2005.
