“Everybody Talks About the Weather” is a research exhibition that explores the meanings of weather in visual art, taking weather conditions as a premise for addressing the issue of the ongoing climate emergency.
The project is conceived by curator Dieter Roelstraete and presented in Venice, in the spaces of the historic palace of Ca’ Corner della Regina. More than fifty works by contemporary artists and a complementary selection of historical works trace the various ways in which climate and weather have shaped our cultural identities and how humanity has dealt with our daily exposure to weather events. The installation designed by New York-based studio 2×4 interweaves the artistic dimension of the project with a series of scientific insights developed in collaboration with the New Institute Centre For Environmental Humanities (NICHE) at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
