When We Become Us²

The inaugural exhibition hosted at Fondazione Marchesani in Dorsoduro marks Capsule’s debut in Italy, bringing forth an expanded rendition of their first showcase in Shanghai, “When We Become Us.” Renamed “When We Become Us²,” this exhibition transcends mere display, delving into multifaceted realms of artistic expression and gallery ethos.

“When We Become Us²” serves as a prism, refracting the diverse poetics of twenty-nine participating artists while offering a panoramic view of Capsule’s evolving agenda. It unravels uncharted synergies among artists, unveiling new dimensions of collaboration and creativity.

Beyond its artistic tableau, the exhibition serves as a testament to Capsule’s seven-year journey, embodying a philosophy of symbiotic growth and perpetual dialogue with its artistic community. It stands as a beacon for Capsule Venice, envisaging a nexus where profound art knowledge converges with a humanistic, artisanal sensibility.

“As We Become Us²” beckons viewers to engage actively, revealing intricate relational dynamics and meticulous curation. It celebrates the collective spirit while honoring individual identities, epitomizing the transformative power of unity in diversity.

For Capsule, this marks the inaugural stride towards fostering enduring ties with Venice, catalyzing an immersive experience where artists and audiences alike coalesce into a vibrant collective consciousness.

In this endeavor, Capsule extends an invitation to all—artists, audiences, collectors, and the broader community—to join in the journey of becoming “us.”
