Indulge in the world of opulence and artistry as the prestigious Pinault Collection unveils its acquisition of the revered Conde Nast archive, setting the stage for a magnificent display of creative brilliance. Saint Laurent, in collaboration with Palazzo Grassi, proudly presents Chronorama, an exquisite exhibition curated by the visionary Matthieu Humery, featuring over 400 rare and captivating photographic treasures, a testament to the unparalleled depth of this famed collection.
Chronorama emerges as a breathtaking dialogue of the ages, a masterful juxtaposition of the past and the present, as it invites four contemporary virtuosos – Giulia Andreani, Tarrah Krajnak, Eric N. Mack, and Daniel Spivakov – to breathe new life into the iconic works of the 20th century showcased within the exhibition. Unrestrained by conventions, the artists unleash their creative visions and interpretations, forging a captivating and unprecedented experience.
Across the regal expanse of Palazzo Grassi, the original installation emerges in four distinct realms, artfully punctuating the chronology of the main exhibition. Each interlude is an intoxicating revelation, a fusion of artistic expression and historical resonance.
In a harmonious ode to Saint Laurent’s commitment to the arts, Chronorama Redux reveals its splendor in two captivating acts. Prepare to be amazed by Daniel Spivakov’s profound symphony of colours, as he ingeniously infuses photography onto canvas, igniting an explosive chromatic spectacle that captivates the soul. Equally enchanting, Eric N. Mack seamlessly weaves magazine images into sumptuous textile sculptures, redefining the boundaries of art and design.
The partnership between Saint Laurent and Palazzo Grassi bears yet another extraordinary fruit – the illustrious exhibition catalog. A coalescence of artistry and luxury, this catalog, proudly co-published with Palazzo Grassi and Marsilio Arte, immortalizes the essence of this extraordinary collaboration.
