Palazzo Grassi: The World Belongs to You. The exhibition The World Belongs to You curated by Caroline Bourgeois, at Palazzo Grassi, until December 31 2011, offers the public the chance to explore the world of artists from different origins, appealing them to reflect upon the vertiginous rhythm of change in a modern world characterized by nomadism, internationalism and hybridization. Taking its lead from François Pinault’s forward thinking approach to collecting, the exhibition embraces multiple fields of knowledge in order to offer a new way of understanding contemporary society. Originating from the four corners of the world the forty presented artists all approach the upheavals of our world from different individual perspectives, illustrating the tensions but also the hopes that result from them. The exhibition revolves around major themes of contemporary history: from the breakdown of symbols, to the temptation of self-withdrawal and isolation, the attraction of violence and spirituality in a troubled and globalized world. Each artist is presented in a space dedicated to his or her work. But, thanks to the open layout of the venue, none of these spaces are shut off from each other, thus allowing visitors to see interacting influences owing to different viewpoints.
