Object & Thing



Coinciding with La Biennale di Venezia 2024, Object & Thing and Rome-based American artist, F Taylor Colantonio present Frutti di Mare, the artist’s inaugural solo exhibition featuring ten new sculptures. Curated by Object & Thing, the collaborative exhibition platform now also representing artists, Colantonio’s debut exhibition in Venice seamlessly intertwines a captivating array of mythologies centered around the theme of water, minerals, surrealism, queer history, poetry and outer space geological phenomena. Celebrating the rich materiality in Venice, each sculpture is meticulously crafted using a blend of materials, including polished cartapesta – a unique material developed by Colantonio and a medium he has honed since 2012 – that evokes the grandeur of Venice's marble-clad facades, terrazzo floors, and Byzantine mosaics, while the verdant patinated bronze pays homage to the city's historic lagoon.
 
Presented in partnership with D. H. office, the exhibition will take place in a former Venetian mirror workshop located in close vicinity to Palazzo Grassi and Venice’s Grand Canal.
