With “Dysfunctional”, an exhibition organized by the Carpenters Workshop Gallery, seventeen international artists and designers confront the Renaissance architecture of the Ca' d'Oro Palace in Venice.
The lamps or furniture-sculptures of Nacho Carbonell, Studio Drift, Vincent Dubourg and Virgil Abloh, the organic benches of Wendell Castle or Mathieu Lehanneur, and the inhabited clocks of Maarten Baas are all contemporary challenges to the boundaries existing between fine arts, architecture and design.
Between craftsmanship and art, each of these creators challenges the notion of functionalism in the light of their artistic gesture, by confronting the masterpieces of the Ca' d'Oro, from Mantegna to Van Eyck, brought together by the collector Giorgio Franchetti.
