Join the panel discussion, chaired by ArtReview’s Mark Rappolt – the third in a series of talks in collaboration with Berggruen Arts – on Thursday 15 December 2022 at Casa dei Tre Oci, Venice
In an age in which we are increasingly consciousness of planetary interconnections – on environmental, social and medical levels to name just a few – yet in a world increasingly divided on political and economic levels, how do we communicate across borders and boundaries? About small actions having big effects, about interdisciplinary interaction, about systems that are more vast than any one individual? How, perhaps, might we maintain a sense of agency within this? How might we tell stories about these vast systems? And what kind of stories should we tell?
Join artist Agnieszka Kurant and philosopher Nigel Warburton for an examination of the limits of imagination and possibilities of art.
Venue: Casa dei Tre Oci, Venice Date: Thursday 15 December 2022 Time: 5pm Speakers: Agnieszka Kurant and Nigel Warburton Moderator: Mark Rappolt, Editor-in-Chief ArtReview

Dopo la tappa alla Casa dei Tre Oci, la mostra "Sabine Weiss. La poesia dell'istante" prosegue il suo viaggio a Palazzo Ducale di Genova.
Dal 18 novembre 2022 al 12 marzo 2023 potrete tornare ad ammirare gli scatti di Sabine Weiss, l'esposizione verrà infatti riadattata e riallestita nelle sale della Loggia degli Abati di Palazzo Ducale a Genova.
Attraverso oltre 120 stampe e numerosi documenti e riviste dell’epoca la mostra ripercorre l’intera carriera di Weiss, dagli esordi nel 1935 agli anni ’80. Fin dall’inizio, Sabine Weiss, come testimoniano in mostra le foto dei bambini e dei passanti, dirige il suo obiettivo sui corpi e sui gesti, immortalando emozioni e sentimenti, in linea con la fotografia umanista francese.
Uno dei nuclei principali della mostra a Palazzo Ducale racconta il momento del riconoscimento internazionale della fotografa: nel 1952 infatti la sua carriera ha una svolta decisiva quando entra nell’agenzia Rapho e il suo lavoro personale riceve un immediato successo di critica negli Stati Uniti, con mostre al Moma di New York, all’ Art Institute di Chicago, al Walker Art Center di Minneapolis e alla Limelight Gallery di New York.
Tre delle sue fotografie sono state inoltre esposte come parte della famosa mostra “The Family of Man” organizzata da Edward Steichen nel 1955, e da quel momento Sabine ha ottenuto contratti a lungo termine con tutte le più importanti testate americane come The New York Times Magazine, Life, Newsweek, Vogue, Point de vue-images du monde, Paris Match, Esquire e Holiday. Collaborazioni prestigiose, rappresentate all’interno della mostra dall’esposizione delle fotografie per Vogue, Elle, Charm e Paris Match.
Il percorso espositivo pone l’accento soprattutto sulla produzione degli anni Cinquanta, con un focus particolare sulle fotografie dei bambini di strada, le scene parigine, i ritratti di artisti e la fotografia documentaria in un’Europa in ricostruzione dopo la guerra.
Un’intera sezione è dedicata infine ai suoi celebri ritratti di artisti, scrittori, attori e musicisti, tra cui Alberto Giacometti, André Breton, Georges Braque, Joan Mirò, Kees Van Dongen, Robert Rauschenberg, Niki de Saint Phalle, Romy Schneider, Ella Fitzgerald, Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau e molti altri.
Infine, la mostra pone un accento particolare sul suo lavoro personale in bianco e nero a partire dagli anni ’80, e sui diversi viaggi in India, Birmania, Bulgaria e Egitto. Questi lavori hanno ulteriormente contribuito ad accrescere la sua reputazione di fotografa indipendente e dinamica, con una grande sensibilità umanista e un’incredibile attenzione per i dettagli della vita quotidiana.
La mostra è prodotta da Atelier Sabine Weiss - Laure Delloye Augustins, con il sostegno di Jeu de Paume del Festival internazionale Les Rencontres de la photographie d'Arles e Photo Elyseée sotto l'alto patronato del Consolato generale di Svizzera a Milano.
Realizzata da Palazzo Ducale Fondazione per la Cultura e Tre Oci con Marsilio Arte.

The immersive performance is a journey and an intimate diary aimed at exploring the rooms of a house, a metaphor of the artist’s life.
The audience will walk through different spaces that display images, objects, personal memories, sound landscapes that evoke the memories of Irina’s mother, Natasha Perry, who died in 2015.
The rooms are inhabited by the actor Geoffrey Carey, who represents the spirit of the Theatre, and young performers from the Theatre Academy "Carlo Goldoni". The audience follows the path made of lights and shadows, coming out transformed.
