Take Your Time
An official collateral event of the 59th Venice Biennale.
Title: Take Your Time
Artist: Francesca Leone
Curator: Danilo Eccher
Organized by: Nomas Foundation
Venue: Salone Verde – Calle della Regina
Reflections around the restrictions imposed by the pandemic and the suspension of collective and individual time that has characterised the time of the pandemic has inspired a series of immersive installations which the public will have access to in a genuine journey in time. The artist Francesca Leone decomposes, forges, shapes, sculpts and paints materials that are marginalised, thrown away or discarded, giving them back a poetic life and a new moral relationship with humans. “Take Your Time” asks questions about the relationship between humans, time and materials, looking at the consumption of time as one of the damaging effects of the Anthropocene, suggesting the possibility of engaging in a new relationship with materials that is no longer extractive, but restorative.

From 27 September to 27 November: Tuesdays – Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm
