Eighty unique pieces by Alberto Zorzi (Padua, 1958): jewellery-sculptures (gold, silver precious stones, oil paintings, glass), as well as six large pieces of silverware that initially appear to be for decorative purposes only but actually have a function, “turning out to be” vases, fruit bowels or table centre pieces.
All these works were created during the last decade and were especially selected by the artist to interact with the site, space, objects, garments and fabrics in the museum.

On show are 15 pastel works of the well-known painter Živa Kraus which she created between 1975 and 2007, a 1976 videotape, which reveals the invisible interiority of the Kraus “painter”; where one colour does not dominate the other. The vitality of colours, the pastel’s matter, the contrasts of fullness and emptiness are part of what makes her abstract painting, a universal representation of our emotions.
Živa Kraus is also known for having collaborated with Peggy Guggenheim, for having founded the Ikona Gallery, for taking part of the Venezia 1979 world photography kermis organized by the Venice Municipality, the ICP New York and the Unesco, through which, still today, she collects cultural progression for the city

well as from inhabitants of the city of Venice itself.
