Pursuing the series of exhibitions dedicated to the relationship between Art and Architecture, Zuecca Projects presents the first solo show in Venice of the artist Giuliana Balice. The exhibition “Giuliana Balice: l’ordine geometrico e la seduzione dell’architettura” (Giuliana Balice: the geometric order and the seduction of architecture), curated by Italo Tomassoni, will be hosted at Squero Castello, from 6 October to 25 November 2023.

Coinciding with the final months of the Architecture Biennale 2023, the exhibition focuses on the artist’s sculptural production (from the late 1960s to the 2000s), highlighting her close ties with two of the fundamental elements of architecture: geometry and space.  As curator Italo Tomassoni explains: “the plastic forms of Giuliana Balice’s sculptures have a fundamental matrix: geometric order.

From the point of view of an entire creative history, her research has always dealt independently with the contiguous surfaces of the horizontal space of the sheet and the volumetric and discontinuous ones of the surrounding space, developing a process that ranges from the plastic superimpositions of horizontal planes, to the maximum spatial concentration of the works of domestic design (in methacrylate and Sicodur), to the constructive volumes that explore plasticity or that engage with architecture and the urban environment (in painted wood and various materials)”.
