From April 17 to November 20, 2016, Punta della Dogana will present “Accrochage”, a collective exhibition curated by Caroline Bourgeois. “Accrochage” brings together nearly seventy works that have not been on display since they became part of the Pinault Collection and over two thirds of the artists have never been presented in an exhibition of the collection. To develop this collective exhibition, the curator decided to follow precise guidelines, almost like the rules of a game, instead of focusing on a theme, a period of time or an artistic movement. The title itself – generic, neutral, almost in the background – leaves space to the works and seems to simply suggest: look carefully. The works on display, then, lead us to question what we look at, invite us to look carefully instead of merely seeing, thereby creating a place where emotion and sensitivity are as important as optical perception and thoughts.” The visitor is invited to interpret the works through his own personal sensitivity, to discover, as he walks in the exhibition rooms, the threads that are woven between them.
