Fondazione CiniThe Milan-based Prada Foundation will be presenting an exhibition of Pop artist John Wesley to coincide with the 53rd Venice Biennale. The Fondazione Giorgio Cini, a non-profit cultural centre on the island of San Gorgio Maggiore, which was built by the famed Venetian architect Andrea Palladio, will be the space welcoming the show.
The curator Germano Celant describes Wesley's style as "a vocabulary of pop imagery and private emotions that are one of the most mysterious and compelling to define." The exhibition will feature work draw as well as documentary material such as cutouts, photographs and magazine covers.
This is not the first exhibition / project the Prada Foundation has organized. Artists such as Dan Flavin, Steve McQueen or Francesco Vezzoli had already been selected by the Foundation in the past.
