The exhibition route
Jean Blanchaert himself recounts: ‘Villa dei Vescovi, now a FAI property, is a magnificent place commissioned by Alvise Cornaro in the 16th century, a place that invites meditation and a relationship with nature. Our job is to find art in craftsmanship: the Dialogues on Stage exhibition shows the different skills of craftsmen from Veneto and elsewhere. From the American Judi Harvest who creates glass sculptures related to the world of bees, to the illustrator Daniela Murgia with her paper worlds, to the young Chiara Zucchi who works with resins and herbs, to Melvin Anderson who taught Textile Art at the University of Rotterdam for many years and then encountered glass and became the textile artist par excellence, to the ceramic painter Adriano Pompa, with exceptional painting and ceramic qualities, to the Jamaican photographer Hugh Findletar, a master of flower arrangement with his glass sculptures, to the cultured architect Robi Renzi with a passion for ceramics, to Nicola Tessari, an electrical engineer who works with solid wood'.
