Project Management for Artist Urs Fischer


Staged at Palazzo Diedo alongside the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024, Janus brought together eleven site-specific interventions by eleven international artists, including Urs Fischer, Piero Golia, Carsten Höller, Ibrahim Mahama, Mariko Mori, Sterling Ruby, Jim Shaw, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Aya Takano, Lee Ufan, and Liu Wei. Each work responded to the 18th-century palazzo by architect Andrea Tirali, once home to one of Venice's most powerful families and later a school and courthouse, drawing on traditional Venetian crafts such as fresco, Murano glass, and terrazzo floors. The exhibition takes its name from Janus, the two-faced Roman god of beginnings, reflecting its aim to bring the historical into dialogue with the contemporary.
