COLLATERAL EVENTS BIENNALE ARTE 2022 AND BEYOND: WHAT TO SEE AND WHERE TO GO

There are 30 collateral events of the Biennale Arte 2022 admitted by the curator Cecilia Alemani and you can find them all in the post I dedicated to Biennale Venezia 2022, tickets, pavilions, collateral events.
The problem is which ones to see first, where to start and above all whether it is worth visiting them all. Also because during the Venice Biennale there are collateral events to see and a myriad of other interesting independent exhibitions.

To help you choose, I have written this post, which I hope will act as a compass on your journey to discover the collateral events of the 2022 Biennale and the independent events.

THE WORKS OF LUIGI CIMA AMONG THE MASTERS OF REALITY

Luigi Cima was born in Villa di Villa, now the municipality of Mel (Belluno) on 5 January 1860.
After completing his technical studies in Feltre, he moved to Venice to enrol at the Academy of Fine Arts.

He mainly devoted himself to scenes of working life in the countryside and mountains of the Feltre area, to landscapes animated with figures of acute realism, to scenes of Venetian life and to portraits.

NATURE IN ART: FROM THE ROMANTICS TO SEGANTINI

The representation of nature in art has always offered artists the opportunity to describe the world and our relationship with the planet we live on.

The history of art is full of works depicting beautiful landscapes, but it is also full of stories in which Nature and its elements are personified by deities, taken from classical culture, that allow us to understand our connection with the world.
I recently visited an exhibition (details at the bottom of this post) that took me on a journey of discovery of nature in art and offered me the chance to understand how nature became so important in the 19th century.

VENICE BIENNALE 2022 TICKETS, PAVILIONS, SIDE EVENTS

Venice Biennale 2022, tickets, pavilions, collateral events, what to see and where to go.
This is it, the Art Biennale, after the 2020 stop due to the pandemic, is about to reopen its doors and is ready to show the new trends of contemporary art.

Every two years, the world’s most important and prestigious international art exhibition presents a theme to reflect on and allows the various nations of the world to describe their point of view on art, the world and creativity, always sparking off a battle between those who claim that the previous Biennale was the best or that this is the best Biennale ever.

The only thing that is certain is that since 1895 the Biennale has been attracting the most important contemporary artists to Venice, provoking discussion, debate, scandal, protest and inspiration.
This is why you need a guide, or rather a survival kit, to help you find your way around and immediately know where to go and what to see.

In this post you will find all the updates on the Venice Biennale 2022 what to see, where to go and what to do 😉
