Venice Is Getting Two Brand-New Art Centres in May – Here’s Where To Find Them

Perched on the second floor of the Procuratie in St Mark’s Square, this new arts space has a broad focus that spans art, fashion, architecture, film and technology. Inside, there will be 16 galleries, all recently restored by esteemed British architect David Chipperfield. Two inaugural shows will coincide with the Venice Architecture Biennale, running from May 10 to November 23, and will focus on Australian architect Harry Seidler and Korean landscape designer Jung Youngsun. Founders David Hrankovic, Anna Bursaux and David Gramazio describe the centre as ‘a spontaneous and experimental organisation, testing traditional models of arts and institutions and exhibition making,’ which makes it sound pretty swish. The SMAC San Marco Art Centre will open its doors on May 9, with the inaugural exhibitions running until July 13. - Liv Kelly

Great exhibition space in the center of Venice, newly reshaped by David Chipperfield, quiet place, perfect curated exhibitions and nice small cafe

One of the most wonderful places in Venice. A historic site — built with the consultation of Jacopo Sansovino, it once housed the magistracy of the lagoon city and was recently restored by David Chipperfield, who succeeded in enhancing the 16th–17th century Venetian style, transforming it into a perfect place for contemporary use. The exhibitions inside, curated by the SMAC team, are enchanting both in terms of setup and content.

Il nuovo SMAC – San Marco Art Centre inaugura la propria attività con una mostra di grande ambizione, The Quantum Effect, curata da Daniel Birnbaum e Jacqui Davies. Lo scenario è straordinario: le Procuratie di Piazza San Marco, restaurate da David Chipperfield, diventano il palcoscenico di un percorso di oltre mille metri quadrati, articolato in sedici sale. Il tema scelto è affascinante: la trasposizione in chiave artistica di concetti legati alla fisica quantistica, dal multiverso ai paradossi temporali. L’allestimento sfrutta simmetrie, opere “gemelle” e un lungo corridoio che suggerisce la sensazione di mondi paralleli. Alcuni lavori colpiscono per intensità visiva e capacità evocativa, regalando momenti di autentica suggestione. Eppure, nonostante le premesse, la mostra lascia un retrogusto di incompiutezza. L’ampiezza del tema e la molteplicità degli approcci rischiano di generare dispersione più che immersione. Molte opere restano su un piano concettuale difficile da tradurre in esperienza concreta, e il visitatore meno avvezzo all’arte contemporanea può sentirsi spaesato. L’effetto complessivo è elegante, ma non sempre emozionante. The Quantum Effect si presenta dunque come un esordio ambizioso ma non del tutto convincente: interessante per la qualità del contesto e per l’orizzonte teorico che propone, ma privo di quel guizzo capace di trasformare il progetto in un’esperienza davvero memorabile. Resta comunque la curiosità per i prossimi capitoli di questo nuovo spazio veneziano, che ha tutte le potenzialità per imporsi sulla scena.
