Exploring Art in Venice

Take a trip to Venice and lose yourself in its exciting atmosphere, linked to the area's history and traditions. Make the most of the numerous opportunities to absorb art and culture. From Friday, 5th June to Sunday, 4th October 2009, the Correr Museum will play host to 'Astrazioni', an event seeking to re-examine the relationship between the artistic avant-garde of the early 19th century, and its various cultural expressions, pausing to consider the real meaning behind these movements.

The exhibition takes place within the framework of a wider programme, aimed at praising the artistic creativity of Futurism, and celebrating its centenary. This is a unique opportunity to analyse the images and works of major Italian and European artists, comparing style, form, meaning and expressive leanings. Taking centre-stage is the search for the essential, irony, provocative images and the move away from traditional rules.
