Gallery Wendi Norris celebrates the invitation of four of our artists to The Milk of Dreams, the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Cecilia Alemani. They are Leonora Carrington, Alice Rahon, Dorothea Tanning, and Remedios Varo.
The Biennale Arte 2022 takes its title from a book of stories written by gallery artist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011). In her announcement of the exhibition, Alemani writes that "the Surrealist artist describes a magical world where life is constantly re-envisioned through the prism of the imagination. It is a world where everyone can change, be transformed, become something or someone else. The exhibition The Milk of Dreams takes Leonora Carrington's otherworldly creatures, along with other figures of transformation, as companions on an imaginary journey through the metamorphoses of bodies and definitions of the human." The gallery is proud to be included at the Biennale Arte 2022 and delighted to have it named after one of our artists' creations.
The Milk of Dreams, the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, will open to the public at the Giardini and the Arsenale, Venice, on Saturday, April 23. It closes on Sunday, November 27, 2022. The pre-opening will take place on April 20, 21, and 22; the awards ceremony and inauguration will be held on 23 April, 2022.
