Available Exhibition Spaces for Architecture (2010) and Visual Art (2011) Biennale
Fondaco dell'Arte To promote modern and contemporary art projects and encourage cultural development, Arte Communications manages and rents the exhibition space at Fondaco dell'Arte, a historical Venetian building founded between the sixteenth and the seventeenth century. Venice, historically linked to the maritime trade, inherited from Arabian culture the architectural model of the so-called "fondaco", importing it to the Venetian lagoon to provide storage spaces for merchants. The unique structure with large open spaces reveals its intended uses. The Fondaco dell'Arte, covering an area of 360 sqm, was restored in a conservative approach during 2004 and 2005. The refurbishment has left unsullied the charming brick facade as well as the spacious interior without partition walls. The skylights and the marble columns surrounding the ancient wooden beams are some of its distinctive characteristics. The space is currently hosting the Hong Kong pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale. Thanks to its architectural structure and to its location overlooking the Grand Canal, the Fondaco dell'Arte presents considerable possibilities of artistic intervention, thus meeting any specific request. The Fondaco dell'Arte, located in San Marco 3415 (calle dei Garzoni) close to Palazzo Grassi, in front of the San Tomà boat station, also offers the possibility of using Venice, internationally recognised for its historic and cultural heritage, as a display for promoting artistic events at an international level .
