WALKING VENICE OPEN GALLERIES

WV-Walkin’ Venice Open Galleries, Curated by Associazione 22:37.
Venice – June 5th 2009.
Associazione 22:37 is pleased to announce the first collective Opening of contemporary art galleries in Venice, in combination with the Vernissage of 53rd Biennial of Visual Arts. On Friday June 5th 2009 until 22:37 and later, the private spaces of art will open simultaneously their doors to share their cultural proposal with the citizens and with the visitors of the Venice Biennial. WV-Walkin’ Venice Open Galleries is an invitation to cross the city under the moonlight, focusing the attention on the private places of contemporary art, during the period in which Venice streets and squares turn into  crossroads of different cultures and worlds. Walkin’ Venice Open Galleries is an innovative proposal adding to the collateral events of the Venice Biennial: an untold walk through the city, established with the purpose of creating a network among the galleries and develop a synergy between public and private spaces. The event will involve all the curious, heterogeneous crowd that animates the city of Venice at the beginning of June, in a pleasant walk through contemporary art.
