If you’re planning a visit to Venice this year..
We recommend a visit to ‘Kan Yasuda – Isole del Silenzio’ (Islands of Silence), presented by the Fondation d’Entreprise Wilmotte as an official Venice Biennale collateral event.
In this exhibition, marble sculptures give form to a ‘mineral garden’, creating an inner landscape imbued with silence, simplicity, and essentiality. The voids carved into the stone embody the Japanese aesthetic concept of Ma — an interval or active space — establishing a quiet harmony between form and formlessness, presence and absence. Within the dimly lit exhibition space, ten sculptures are arranged like ‘islands’ from which a space of stillness gradually emerges.
Kan Yasuda, Isola del Silenzio, Venice Biennale collateral event, Fondazione Wilmotte, Venice.
The exhibition runs until 22 November
In 2023, we were delighted to welcome Kan Yasuda to Making In.
