Everybody Talks About the Weather

Everybody Talks About the Weather, a research exhibition conceived by curator Dieter Roelstrate, in the historic palazzo of Ca’ Corner della Regina, the Venetian headquarters of the Fondazione Prada.

Everybody Talks About the Weather explores the variations and semantic mutations of weather in visual art, considering atmospheric conditions as a starting point for investigating the urgency of issues related to climate change and global warming.

More than fifty works by contemporary artists, combined with a selection of older works, trace the various ways in which climate and weather have shaped our cultural identities and how humanity has dealt with daily exposure to physical agents.

The installation, created by New York-based studio 2×4, connects the artistic dimension of the project with a series of scientific insights developed in collaboration with the New Institute Centre For Environmental Humanities (NICHE) at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice.
