VENICE BIENNALE: Third Person

Bottega Veneta’s involvement feels like a homecoming, considering its heritage rooted in Venetian artisanship, motifs and history, allowing for a return in support of their creative community after 60 years since the house’s foundation. In celebration of the Venice Biennale and shared culture, they are hosting a series of cultural gatherings that span the city, through collaborations with Lorna Simpson and the Pier Luigi Nervi Foundation. Through this film, we are taken through Third Person, a solo exhibition by American Artist Lorna Simpson, hosted at Punta della Dogana-Pinault Collection, which holds an austerity that is only enhanced by the warehouse-like architecture it is surrounded by. Their other project, If All Time is Eternally Present — which is collateral with the Biennale d’Arte — presents moving image works by Kandis Williams, Meriem Bennani & Orian Barki, and Tai Shani.
