Waterproof Venice

The Waterproof Venice exhibition, which will be inaugurated on May 30th by VSF within the context of the 2024 Salone Nautico, aims to share, with citizens and the public, the projects̀ of the Foundation’s members in the direction of sustainable and integrated development, of the Venetian territory.

Located in the renovated space of Tesa 66 in the Venice Arsenal, the installation, which will be on view until October 6, presents itself as a shared curatorial project through which VSF members present their projects and express their visions for the city of Venice and its metropolitan surroundings. Visitors will thus be confronted with a path that exposes the complexities of reality through texts, images, renderings and perspectives elaborated by Artificial Intelligence giving way to a series of hypotheses about the Venice of the future, based on VSF members’ activities and projects for the sustainable and integrated development of the Venetian territory.

The entire display, from graphics to colors to style, will evoke the magnificence of 12th century Byzantine Venice, emphasizing the importance of history in shaping the present and imagining the future of Venice.

This is a project of VSF, curated by Jacopo Galli and Marco Marino.

In collaboration with the City of Venice, Iuav and Vela.
