O p e n A r t C o d e Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti San Marco 2847 Venezia 5 - 20 February 2016 open every day (except Sundays) 11am - 7pm
OpenArtCode is composed of a group of renowned artists who have very different technical styles and their artistic formation is varied. They have united their talents in the past to exhibit together in Paris at the Grand Palais, in Monaco at the Auditorium Rainier III, at the Oxo Gallery on the River Thames in London and in Shanghai at Pudong Library and CEIBS. The most recent OAC show was OpenArtCode Paris that took place from 24-29 November 2015 at the Grand Palais, in the Salon des Artistes Indépendants. Each year ART en CAPITAL, which also comprises the Salon des Indépendants, attracts more than thirty thousand visitors to the Grand Palais. OpenArtCode Venice is honoured to exhibit on the ‘piano nobile’ or main floor of Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti. This historic building, located directly on the Grand Canal, is situated in the most visited area of Venice, near the Galleria dell’Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. This is the heart of the cultural centre, where the famous Teatro La Fenice, Palazzo Grassi, Punta della Dogana, Palazzo Fortuny and Ca’ Rezzonico are also located. A final note to thank the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti for their hospitality and to all the sponsors for their support in making this a very successful exhibition. Vito Abba

Forever Greece There is a long history of cultural osmosis and acculturation between two sibling civilizations: Greece and Venice. From the time of the Dalmatians when the Greek community occupied the area of San Zaccaria, the Church of San Giorgio dei Greci, the Byzantine Institute and the Greek Consulate remain today witnesses of the glimpse of Venice towards the gates of Orient. The first known artist, El Greco, came from his native Crete to be Titian’s pupil and was entirely at home among Venetians and Greeks. The many contemporary Greek artists who have exhibited at the Venice Biennale with success, will have surely crossed paths with the Delos lion at the Arsenale and the Byzantine icon of the Madonna of the Salute, brought from Crete by the Venetian commander, Francesco Morosini. So, Greece and Greek artists have always been a part of Venice. Even when economic realities have shaken up the whole of Europe and particularly Greece, they will to continue to travel to Venice, albeit the difficult challenges. They bring with them with splendid image of Maria Callas arriving one luminous afternoon to sing at La Fenice. Emmy Varouxaki Art historian - Curator of the section “Forever Greece”
