Free cultural events are available to the public for over thirty days, offering familiar formats (the Teatrino has been active since 2013) but also new challenges.
Cinema in the Teatrino of Palazzo Grassi
The exhibition CHRONORAMA. Photographic treasures of the 20th century (on view at Palazzo Grassi until January 7th) brings to life a cycle of projections that bear the name Chronorama Films: Seven events from seven decades of cinema from the 1910s to the 1970s bring to light films with important names, from Charlie Chaplin to Marlene Dietrich, from Jean-Luc Godard to Audrey Hepburn and Constantin Brâncuși. In addition, from October 6th to 8th the Festival International du Film sur l’Art (FIFA) from Montreal was invited to present a film festival where visual art, architecture, dance and performance intersect.
Architecture, publishing and sound art in the Teatrino of Palazzo Grassi
The Architecture Biennale 2023 cannot fail to arrive at Palazzo Grassi in autumn: with five events entitled New worldcurated by Fosbury Architecture (the curators of the Italian Pavilion) to reflect on the various key themes of contemporary architecture.
One of the unmissable events for lovers of art publishing is the exhibition How to put art in a book(scheduled from November 9th to 19th) brings together 57 artists’ books and catalogs selected by a renowned group of artists, designers and curators (such as Luca Massimo Barbero and Salvatore Settis) who will be present at the opening meetings of the exhibition.

The program is an integral part of the Teatrino’s program big tour, in which the Venetian Museum invites international institutions to curate activities and workshops specifically for Palazzo Grassi.
