Is Venice the town of global tourism, or rather that of working-class neighbourhood? Is its landscape that of sandbanks cut across by water birds, or rather that of a land imbued for years with industrial scraps from Porto Marghera? A new generation of students from the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, the Visual Arts Faculty of IUAV (Venice) and from the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe will be dealing with these issues. Photographs and videos produced during a few months long artistic research punctuated by a series of seminars and workshops coordinated by two internationally renowned photographers, Armin Linke (1966) and Elger Esser (1967), will be on show in the exhibition spaces of Galleria Contemporaneo.
