Fabrica arrives at Complesso dell’Ospedaletto in Venice with Venezia Fabrica Futura, an eco-critical laboratory of a contemporary Venice projected into the future.
Starting from its headquarters in the province of Treviso, Fabrica moves to the lagoon city to explore – through some multimedia projects created by the young creatives of the center – alternative futures already present in its complex ecosystem.
Among the works on display, interactive video games; bio-fabrications with mussels from the lagoon; experiential tastings; experimental herbariums dedicated to underwater flora and sound re-elaborations of wave motion and pollution data from Venetian canals.
The laboratory opened on 19 May 2023 with a guest lecture by the Swedish artist Nina Canell and a live set by Furtherset.
On 17 June 2023, on the occasion of Art Night Venice, the laboratory hosted a creative workshop and lagoon meditation with the visual artist Sara Bonaventura; Ginestra, a live concert by Ava Rasti, Iranian composer, pianist and bassist and Obsession, a live concert by Camille Rieu-Camilleri, French multidisciplinary artist currently in residence at Fabrica.
During the evening it was offered vegan ice cream with Algavenice spirulina produced by Dassie, Treviso.
