Capsule Venice inaugurates its Fall exhibition season with an exhibition and two special projects curated by Manuela Lietti and hosted in the rooms and garden of Fondazione Marchesani. The main floor hosts the evocative solo exhibition titled By devouring it, I learn about the world by Chinese artist Liao Wen, the Project Room 1 on the ground floor hosts Vista by German artist Mevlana Lipp, while Project Rooms 2 and 3 house the conceptual work Real Time by Italian Alessio de Girolamo. In his first solo exhibition in Europe, Liao Wen (1994, Chengdu, China) interacts with the space through site-specific works of strong visual impact that explore the relationship between body, ritual, myth and collective imagination. Mevlana Lipp's (1989, Cologne, Germany) unpublished series of works unites the worlds of flora, fauna and biology, recalling vaguely Deco architectural motifs, in which painting and sculpture intertwine to create compositions in which natural and man-made architectures merge. Alessio de Girolamo (1980, Sanremo, Italy) presents a hybrid work in which the protagonist is a new declination of the software of the same name (Real Time) developed with LIM - Department of Musical Informatics of the University of Milan Statale, which uses the everyday and urban dimension as a real orchestra in which scores of classical music are rendered in real time through the movement of people in the public space of the Biennale Arte 2024, in a continuous cross-reference between random and codified, natural and artificial dimensions.
