Eva Marisaldi. Biribisso

From 21 March to 24 November 2024
Venice, Carlo Goldoni’s House

Curated by Chiara Squarcina and Pier Paolo Pancotto
In collaboration with Galleria de’ Foscherari and Francesco Ribuffo

In the late 1980s, Eva Marisaldi (Bologna, 1966) made her debut on the exhibition scene, and then took part in two editions of the Venice Biennale (1993 and 2001), among much else.

From the outset, there clearly emerged her aptitude for observing the world and her ability to translate this experience into visual compositions difficult to catalogue by traditional standards and conveyed in various expressive media: installations, sculptures, graphics and videos.

With a gift for reflecting on and analysing her surroundings, Eva Marisaldi focuses above all on the private sphere of the individual, social reality and the environment, creating micro-narratives where analogies and contrasts prevail over the essence of the narrative.

The artist synthesises the results of her investigation in visual, auditory and literary elements as semantically dense as they are expressively linear, where fantasy alternates with reflection, poetry with irony.

The project designed for Casa Goldoni is proof of this. It develops in all the rooms of the building and consists of a series of original works, differing in technique and type but united by a common source of inspiration: the playwright whom the museum is dedicated to and his work in the theatre, as well as the world of entertainment and stage representation in general.

Admission to the exhibition with the Museum’s hours and ticket.
