\r\n
\r\nUrs Fischer, Piero Golia, Carsten H\u00f6ller, Ibrahim Mahama, Mariko Mori, Sterling Ruby, Jim Shaw, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Aya Takano, Lee Ufan and Liu Wei are the protagonists of the inaugural exhibition of Palazzo Diedo, the new hub for contemporary art established in Venice by Berggruen Arts & Culture, an international charitable foundation created by the collector and philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen. Starting on 20 April 2024, Palazzo Diedo will initiate an active dialogue with the cultural fabric of the city, inviting artists to do the same. Adriana Rispoli, curator of Berggruen Arts & Culture, joins us to talk about the exhibition she curated together with Mario Codognato, director of Berggruen Arts & Culture, and the future programming of the new Venetian institution.

INTERVIEW WITH ADRIANA RISPOLI<\/h2>
\r\nPalazzo Diedo opens its doors to the public after a significant restoration.<\/strong> How will it dialogue with the Venetian artistic-cultural landscape?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nWith a view to setting itself apart from the rest of the immense Venetian cultural offering, Palazzo Diedo aims, through artist\u2019s residencies, to become a living place. The last of the five floors of the building is in fact dedicated to the apartments that will welcome the artists. Palazzo Diedo, reserving both the top and second floors for artistic production, aims to be an active organ, also when it comes to the social fabric of the city. By inviting artists to produce in Venice, we want to give new life to the great tradition of Venetian crafts. With the inaugural exhibition entitled Janus<\/em>, which brings together artists from all over the world, Palazzo Diedo clarifies its intent: juxtaposing different cultures and making them dialogue with the local culture of Venice, which has always been a crossroads of trade and exchange.
\r\n
\r\nThe exhibition focuses on original site-specific interventions by famous contemporary artists.<\/strong> Can you tell us a little more?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nMore than a classic exhibition, Janus<\/em> is the opening event of Palazzo Diedo. It can be called an exhibition because alongside the permanent works it will feature works that will only be exhibited for the duration of the Biennale Arte. In both cases, regardless, the works are tied to new productions by the artists or, as I was saying, to the Venetian artisan tradition. Janus, the divinity capable of looking forward and backward at the same time, seemed to us to be the right metaphor to convey Palazzo Diedo\u2019s intention to face the future consciously and be respectful of the past.
\r\n
\r\nNew York\u2019s The Kitchen and the Polaroid Foundation present two special projects in conjunction with the exhibition.<\/strong> What do they consist of?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nThe Kitchen is historically a space dedicated to the transversality of art and this element links it the intentions of Palazzo Diedo. Together with The Kitchen we chose the young artist Rhea Dillon \u2013 a sort of cameo within the exhibition \u2013, whose work focuses on vital contemporary issues, from gender to identity to the decolonization of culture. What interests us is the curatorial approach of The Kitchen, which has always been tied to a non-binary position, and deserves the attention it is now getting, in the arts as well.
\r\n
\r\nAnd what about the Polaroid Foundation?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nPolaroid, which as a company is experiencing a phase of re-presentation on the market, will interact with the Janus<\/em> artists by creating new works, within a performative framework. The international Polaroid team has reactivated the old Polaroid machine that printed in a 20×24 inch format and, before the inauguration of the exhibition, will create snapshots in collaboration with the artists, according to their wishes and choices. The pictures will then be presented to the public who visit the exhibition.
\r\n

PALAZZO DIEDO IN VENICE<\/h2>
\r\nAre you establishing or will you establish other collaborations, outside Palazzo Diedo too?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nOn the second floor there will be a black box dedicated to the moving image. We will kick things off with an exclusive preview screening of the latest film by Koo Jeong-a, an artist who this year represents the South Korean pavilion at the Biennale Arte. His work, OUSSS<\/em>, is in 3D, somewhere between animation and science fiction, and will be screened every Thursday for the entire duration of the Biennale. It is the first event in a schedule that we have been putting together in the last few weeks.
\r\n
\r\nMariko Mori, on the other hand, already present with a permanent piece, will offer a preview at Palazzo Diedo of a few works related to the Peace Crystal<\/em> project, which will open to the public in June in the Gardens of Palazzo Corner della Ca’ Granda. This will be the third installation by the Faou Foundation, which she founded in 2010 to promote environmental awareness and to find a balance between man and nature. This preview will open the doors to a public talk, which will take place in June and is part of the activities (symposia, performances) designed to make Palazzo Diedo a living place and at the same time a hotbed of critical thought. Furthermore, during Venice\u2019s Art Night, on 22 June, Palazzo Diedo will host the Hans-Ulrich Obrist marathon.
\r\n

THE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMME<\/h2>
\r\nGetting back to the long-term artist\u2019s residency programme, how will the project be structured?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nWe have not yet developed an open call, but potential residencies are already planned for artists who we would like to be involved in the first phase of the project. The aim is to ensure that artists, based on their own wishes and languages, continue to experiment with the traditional techniques of the city. In fact, a good portion of the permanent interventions carried out for Palazzo Diedo are the result of a dialogue with local manufacturers. Sterling Ruby, for example, produced a series of lanterns that are a nod to glasswork and ironwork, reinterpreted by the artist. While the lanterns appear very traditional, upon closer inspection they reveal a defect, something unseen, an error, thus combining the artist\u2019s modus operandi (which places waste, the marginal, at the centre of his work) and the local artisan history. This intervention is flanked by two new site-specific monumental works made with remnants of lace, buoys, fishing nets: a sort of decadent crinoline, a shroud of everyday life freighted with melancholy. One of Urs Fischer\u2019s pieces, on the other hand, was produced in Murano and, thanks to the mirrored surfaces it is made of, interacts incredibly with the warm Venetian light, creating a psychedelic effect and offering a contemporary reinterpretation of the local glassmaking tradition.
