This, then, is a most unusual exhibition for Venice, where hardly a spot is left free of ornament and little stands untouched by linear or painterly composition. Venice is a classical place of (over) defined forms.

Not by chance is the exhibition exiled to Giudecca, to "ex CantieriNavali", now a semi-industrial complex of repair shops for motorboats, a place open to the Laguna Veneta, and to its refreshing breeze.
