From April 15 to October 1, 2023, the Carlo Goldoni House in Venice will host a fascinating exhibition entitled “Impronte di un Mascarer. Luogo spazio e tempo del gesto” (Impressions of a Masquerer: Place, Space, and Time of Gesture). The exhibition showcases mask-imprints and imprints-masks, inviting visitors to reflect on the symbolic significance of these objects.
The exhibition features small negative casts in alabaster and large masks, both in papier-mâché and resin, arranged on the ground and second floors. The artist and creator of the project, Gualtiero Dall’Osto, has crafted these objects with great care, imbuing them with a sense of mystery and intrigue.
Through the exhibition, Dall’Osto invites visitors to reflect on the significance of masks, which have played a prominent role in Venetian culture and history. These objects are not only linked to the Commedia dell’Arte but also to the desire to conceal oneself from the prying eye.
“Impronte di un Mascarer” offers a unique opportunity to explore the significance of these objects and to reflect on their role in Venetian culture. The exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, and culture, and promises to be a thought-provoking and engaging experience. So, don’t miss the chance to visit the Carlo Goldoni House and explore the intriguing world of mask-imprints and imprints-masks.
