Fondazione In Between Art Film announces Canicula, a group exhibition opening on May 6, 2026, at the Complesso dell’Ospedaletto in Venice on the occasion of the 61st International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia.

Curated by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi––the Fondazione’s artistic director and curator, respectively––Canicula is the third and final chapter of the “Trilogy of Uncertainties,” a series of exhibitions initiated by Fondazione In Between Art Film that has seen the Complesso dell’Ospedaletto transformed each time into a form of cinematic architecture. Beginning in 2022 with Penumbra and continuing in 2024 with Nebula, for each show in the trilogy a different atmospheric phenomenon has been deployed in order to explore states of vision as metaphors for the human condition.

Canicula will premiere eight new site-specific video installations commissioned from Lawrence Abu Hamdan (1985, Jordan), Massimo D’Anolfi andMartina Parenti (1974, Italy/1972, Italy), Roman Khimei and Yarema Malashchuk (1992, Ukraine/1993, Ukraine), Janis Rafa (1984, Greece), P. Staff (1987, United Kingdom), Wang Tuo (1984, China), Yuyan Wang (1989, China), and Maya Watanabe (1983, Peru). All eight works are commissioned and produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film, the initiative conceived by Beatrice Bulgari to promote the culture of moving images and to support international artists, institutions, and theorists in their explorations of the dialogue between disciplines and time-based media.
