A monographic exhibition dedicated to Fabrizio Plessi occupies all the spaces of the Nuova Sant’Agnese complex for the first time. Thus comes to completion, with an important solo show, the long relationship between the artist and the Foundation, which began in 2011 with the exhibition Mari Verticali (at the Venice Pavilion of the Giardini della Biennale) and continued during the 2015 Biennale Arte with Liquid Life and Liquid Light.

During the sixtieth Venice Art Biennale and on the occasion of the artist’s 84th birthday, the foundation dedicates the main event of the Nuova Sant’Agnese exhibition season. “Black gold” are the two elements that characterize Plessi’s entire project in the former church spaces, two elements that return in the materials exhibited: installations, videos, drawings. Black and gold are the polar elements that fascinate him and that embody, particularly in more recent years, the original tension of Plessi’s ideational composition, starting from the very recognizable trait of his compositional design, marked, dense, from which the structures that will be animated by the relationship with light.

Until 13 October, it will be possible to visit the site-specific exhibition dedicated to the artist in dialogue with the history of the place, its memory and stratifications through time, which goes well with the concept of the Golden Age. More information soon on our website.
