Inspired by Eighteenth-Century aesthetics and John Ruskin’s reflections upon Venetian architecture, as seen within his art-historical treatise “The Stones of Venice”, the installation “Venetian Windows” was a bespoke project for Tessitura Bevilacqua, made in response to the Business for Art open call of the 13th Arte Laguna Prize. The work, a five-meters long velvet by Tessitura Bevilacqua, was exhibited on the façade of the headquarters of the company on the Grand Canal. The site-specific work by Ticca aws conceived to highlight a precious Venetian fabric, and to strengthen a powerful dialogue between inner and outer space, as well as time. While the textile was subject to deterioration and transformation outside of the building, Bevilacqua’s fabrics are cyclically brought back to life inside the palace.
