ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is pleased to announce the opening of VISIONS, second appointment of ANIMA MUNDI 2024, which will take place in Venice at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello (click here to book your ticket) from June 07 to June 21, 2024, and at Palazzo Pisani-Revedin (click here to book your ticket) from June 20 to July 04, 2024, during the 60th Venice Biennale of Art.
ANIMA MUNDI is the invisible energy behind all the natural and artificial elements that allow the planet to live. Thanks to the hidden connections of ANIMA MUNDI, all the ecosystems of the Earth, before and after the appearance of mankind, found their equilibrium, their ways to live and to develop themselves, to transform and to evolve. All the beings of the planet, plants, minerals, and animals are permeated by a secret force that has always stimulated human thought and research.
The festival aims to discover these multiple forms of hidden connections between the soul and the body, mankind and the natural elements, the natural spaces and the cities. We invite artists to show their reflections about the various ways in which the ANIMA MUNDI expresses the relationships among all the existing entities and the natural and cultural systems and to represent by their artistic works the processes of the evolution of the world in which we all live. Artists, designers and architects are invited to talk about ANIMA MUNDI through photo reportage of cities, hidden places, photographic documentaries, personal experiences, presenting their works of photography, painting, sculpture/installation, design and architecture, video art and live performance.

OUR LOCATION
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello is one of the most known palaces of the Renaissance in Venice. It is a historical building dating back to the 16th century, and it has been owned by several noble Venetian families, as demonstrated by the frescoed ceilings, the artistic stuccos and the fine furniture that enriches its rooms. The Palace welcomes visitors with its beautiful private garden on the ground floor, and then it gathers the guests in its large first-floor salons, in which past and present dialogue together. The restored Old Masters’ frescoes and the contemporary art masterpieces that are periodically shown in the exhibitions hosted here, make Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello the perfect location for the balance between old and new, between ancient environment and contemporary art, architecture and design.
Today the building is managed by ACIT Venice – the Italian-German Cultural Association – which is considered one of the most important intercultural associations in Europe. Thanks to the ACIT unceasing cultural activity, Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello has nowadays frequent collaborations with the Goethe Institute and with other local and international institutions, maintaining its ancient reputation. Because of these relations, it presents a huge program of memorable art exhibitions, conferences, congresses and concerts. Among the last institutional exhibitions, is its participation in the 58th Venice Biennale with the Guatemala pavilion, the Dominican Republic pavilion and the Grenada pavilion. ITSLIQUID Group already had the pleasure to hold some festivals and exhibitions in Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, such as MORPHOS Festival and FUTURE IDENTITIES Festival, both in 2014.
Located in the heart of Venice, ITSLIQUID San Marco – Venice Art Space is a charming venue perfect to host solo shows and group exhibitions of the most talented emerging and established artists, designers, and architects. A few minutes by walk from the extraordinary Basilica of San Marco and the Doge’s Palace, ITSLIQUID San Marco is immersed in a magical atmosphere through which you can have a privileged and enchanting perspective of the Serenissima, thanks to the great overlooking of the Canal Grande.
Originally the building was committed by the Pisani family and represented their intention to obtain a view of the Grand Canal and thus establish itself in the district; indeed the handsome building date back to the 17th Century and is known for its impressive architecture in the typical Venetian Baroque, including its magnificent facade and stunning interior frescoes.
Nowadays ITSLIQUID San Marco – Venice Art Space is a fascinating and inclusive art space, with 280 square meters professionally equipped for art exhibitions, in which the rooms are integrated harmoniously with the antique furnishings, to valorize solo and collective exhibitions showing a meaningful dialogue between the historical place and contemporary art, architecture and design.
