Exhibition: 

“When Attitudes Become Form: Bern 1969/Venice 2013”

(1st June 2013 > 24th November 2013)

In a surprising and novel remaking, the project reconstructs “Live in Your Head. When Attitudes Become Form”, an exhibition conceived and organised by Harald Szeemann at the Bern Kunsthalle in 1969, which went down in history for the curator’s radical approach to exhibition practice. It has been decided to graft the exhibition in its totality onto the environmental structure of Ca’ Corner della Regina, thereby inserting – on a full-size scale – the modern rooms of the Kunsthalle into the ancient frescoed and decorated halls of the Venetian palazzo 

Tickets: Venice Card Adult, Venice Card Junior and Venice Card San Marco: € 8,00
