I am glad to share “I Have Met Venice, I Have Met the Mermaid”, an illustrated postcard I created using ink, watercolour and monotype.
I’m especially happy that this little piece of my Venice has found its home at @vino__vero , where the postcards are available to purchase (often sold out😅).

My work draws inspiration from an old Venetian tradition: the personification of the Serenissima as a crowned mermaid, a mythical figure rooted in the city’s artistic and cultural history. Venice is full of sculpted creatures, real and imaginary, that have watched over its streets, palaces and churches for centuries.

Through an allegorical encounter between the woman and the mermaid, I wanted to capture the memory of my time in Venice, a city where reality and imagination, land and water, humanity and nature are in constant dialogue.

A heartfelt thank you to Mara Sartore, Matteo Bartoli and the whole Vino Vero crew for choosing my work and giving it a place in your story 🤍.

I have met Venice, and thus I have met the mysterious Mermaid 🤍 🐬.

For My Art Guide Paris 2026, Editor-in-Chief @marasartore speaks with artist @thekaderattia about his evolving practice, the histories we inherit, and the relationship between art, knowledge and technology.

From his project for the Louvre to Whispers of Traces at the Venice Biennale and his upcoming role as Artistic Director of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Attia reflects on the importance of artistic language, the power of abstraction and poetry, and the role of art in shaping how we understand the world.

#IntiLigabue for Venice Biennale Portraits

Founder of @ligabuefoundation — established in 2016 in memory of his father, the researcher and collector #GiancarloLigabue — Inti spent a decade staging exhibitions across Venice's historic palazzi before opening Palazzo delle Arti e delle Culture: housed in his own home, #PalazzoErizzoLigabue on the Canal Grande, where ancient artefacts from cultures around the world enter into dialogue with contemporary works.

Here he reflects on the meeting point between past and present at the heart of the foundation's vision, its artist residency programme and the exhibitions planned for the years ahead — and on Venice itself, its current renaissance, and his belief that the city must become a place of artistic production, not only of display.

A year ago in Venice, PALAZZO was born during a spontaneous jam at Palazzo Dandolo.

A few days later, we played it publicly for the first time at Itinerarte Gallery in Dorsoduro. @galleria_itinerarte

One year on, the track is travelling worldwide.

Listen to the recent live version from Domaine de la Croix via the Linktree. The original Palazzo Dandolo performance is also available as a limited-edition tape through Tape Deck.

#BarbaraPrenka
Making myself at home
24 September 2026 — 18 February 2027

For Vetrina#18, Mara Sartore invites Barbara Prenka to present Making myself at home, an existing work reconfigured specifically for the Vetrina in collaboration with @lightboxpublishing

The work originally measures 450 cm in length. Here, it has to fit within a space just 227 cm wide and 30 cm deep. So it folds, turns back on itself, and adapts.

It fits — but it can no longer be seen in its entirety at once.

The result is a quiet negotiation between what we bring with us and what we encounter: something changes shape, something remains hidden, something persists without being immediately visible.

Not necessarily becoming something else.
Just finding a way to exist within conditions we did not choose.

The work was created during Barbara Prenka’s 2025 residency at @lottozero

#PatriziaSandrettoReRebaudengo for Venice Biennale Portraits.

Founder of @fondazionesandretto Re Rebaudengo, whose new Venetian home on the island of San Giacomo marks a significant new chapter in the foundation's activity.

Located in the northern lagoon between Murano and Burano, the island has been restored from a state of abandonment and transformed into a space for exhibitions, artistic production and residencies.

In this conversation, Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo reflects on the history of the project, the challenges of the restoration, and the role she envisions for the island within the foundation's wider network of venues in Turin, Guarene and Madrid — as a place where contemporary art, ecology and cultural exchange can coexist.

Very happy to share the latest chapter of PATH’s journey through Asia. Following our presence at the Kyoto Independent Film Festival and our Best Documentary win in Singapore, PATH reached the finals at the Tokyo International Short Film Festival, accompanied by the festival’s remarkable and deeply perceptive critical review, The Irresistible Allure of Discovery.

“The outstanding formal characteristic of PATH is precisely this refusal to remain confined to styles and subgenres — this going beyond stylistic molds, this liberation from fixed forms.”
— Tokyo International Short Film Festival

PATH follows the creation of The Gates of Turan, the Kyrgyz Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale — a journey through art, memory, exile and collective creation, searching for what can connect us beyond borders and differences.

Very proud to see PATH continuing its route across Asia. 🇯🇵
