The Gaze of Ivan Glazunov at Querini Stampalia in Venice, Italy.
From the 15th of October until the 11th of January 2015 the
Querini Stampalia Foundation in
Venice will host the exhibition of the painter
Ivan Glazunov; this display was born thanks to the personal collections of the painter itself and to all its researches.
The painter was often associated with the traditions of the
European schools of Painting, and the aim of this particular exhibition is to make people aware of the serious loss of traditions that has its roots in the Russian and European culture.
A particularity of
“The Gaze of Ivan Glazunov” is the location:
Querini Stampalia Foundation of Venice had been chosen for its familiar stamp, which perfectly fits to a project based on memories.
The exhibition is composed of different pieces of art, all belonging to different branches of art: paintings, old Russian costumes of exceptional workmanship, precious objects of popular art belonging to the private collection of the artist and antiquities. To the peculiarity of the objects exhibited is added a unique expository style, attended by
Silvia Burini and
Giuseppe Barbieri responsible of the Centre for Russian Arts Studies of the University of Venice, which involves not only the use of art pieces but also of multimedia devices.
The exposure counts also on a video installation displaying shootings of the
North part of Russia (the region of Archangel'sk) made from the artist and its wife and director
Julija Glazunova; the suggestive soundtrack of the video was realized with the collaboration of
Andrej Kotov, choirmaster of the ensemble
“Sirin” (http://sirin.svyatovo.com).
The inauguration will be characterized by this famous ensemble making live concerts in the rooms in which the exposition is taking place.
