Magnetic field: in Venice, the exhibition that concludes the Bevilacqua Foundation's atelier program

Entitled Campo magnetico, the concluding exhibition of the Atelier 2023-2024 program of the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice. Curated by Cristina Beltrami, the exhibition is the culmination of a year-long residency that saw fifteen young artists work side by side in the prestigious spaces of Palazzo Carminati in San Stae and the cloister of Saints Cosma and Damiano at Giudecca. The artists in the exhibition are Nadezda Golysheva, Alexander Koch, Giuseppe Lo Cascio, Enrico Loquercio, Rebecca Michelini, Carlo Negro, Eric Pasino, Chiara Peruch, Matteo Rattini, Giovanni Sambo, Matilde Sambo, Elsa Scagliarini, Pierluigi Scandiuzzi, Stefano Stoppa and Jacopo Zambello.

The Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation, founded in 1898, is one of the oldest Italian institutions dedicated to promoting young artistic talent. Each year, through a rigorous competition, fifteen artists are selected to participate in a residency program that offers them the opportunity to work in a stimulating environment and grow professionally.

The title of the exhibition, Magnetic Field, reflects the nature of the path shared by the artists during the eleven-month residency. Like a magnetic field, created by the interaction of individual electrical discharges that generate a collective attraction, so too did the artists develop a bond through the exchange of ideas, experiences and the sharing of spaces.

The exhibition presents a series of works ranging from painting and sculpture to installations, photography and video, creating a dialogue between different artistic languages. Some artists have explored new materials and themes, while others have maintained their own line of research, pushing into unexplored territories.

Magnetic Field is thus not just an exhibition, but the result of a process of collective growth, in which individual creative paths have intertwined and enriched each other, leading to the birth of a new expressive balance. This balance, born out of initial chaos and refined through inevitable creative conflicts, now finds shape in the rooms of Palazzetto Tito, where the works on display bear witness to the evolution of each artist. Campo magnetico thus wanted to show the alchemy created within the studios, a concept linked to the practice of workshop, of refinement, of calculated interlocks, that “Process that, in the indistinct chaos of the psyche, clarifies and brings into focus the contrasts or conflicts that lurk there [...] and then composes them into a new balance,” to use the words used in 1997 by Maurizio Calvesi.

The exhibition will be open to the public until September 8, 2024, offering an opportunity to discover the work of fifteen young emerging talents, whose journey within the Ateliers of the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation marks an important step toward artistic maturity.
