The Redentore is one of the Venetians’ most treasured festivities, and is a tourist attraction thanks to the spectacular firework display in the evening. It falls on the third Sunday in July, when Holy Mass is held in the presence of the Patriarch, followed by a religious procession. But the special moment of the festivity takes place on Saturday night: with the unbeatable backdrop of Saint Mark’s Basin, a play of lights and reflections produce a kaleidoscope of colours with the silhouetted spires, domes and bell towers of the city behind. In the three years between 1575 and 1577 the Serenissima was tormented by the plague: aided by the high density of the population, the disease spread through the city, causing terrible losses. Almost 50,000 died, which was more than a third of the city’s inhabitants. On September 4, 1576, the Senate decided that the Doge should announce the vow to erect a church dedicated to the Redentore (Redeemer), in return for help in ending the plague. On July 13, 1577, the plague was declared definitively over and it was decided that the city’s liberation from the terrible disease should be celebrated on the third Sunday in July. The Redentore today:Tradition dictates that at sunset the well illuminated boats, decorated with boughs and coloured balloons, begin congregating in Saint Mark’s Basin and the Giudecca Canal. In the boat, there are either carefully prepared or hastily put-together tables laden with traditional Venetian dishes for dinner. Everyone eats, drinks, dances and jokes whilst waiting for the firework display, which begins at 11.30pm and lasts until after midnight.
Then the boats slowly set off for home or for the Lido, to wait for sunrise. Whilst thousands of tourists watch the firework display from the banks of the Giudecca and along Saint Mark’s Basin, Venetians traditionally watch it from their specially decorated boats which are illuminated with coloured paper lanterns. The surface of the water is literally teeming with thousands of lights and boats.

Water is the element that most characterises Venice and it is no coincidence that the most famous and spectacular festivity in the city takes place on the waters of the Grand Canal. The earliest historical evidence of rowing races dates from the second half of the 13th Century. However, it is probable that similar events were already popular: Venice was essentially a seafaring city and ready reserves of expert oarsmen were a prime necessity.

The champions regatta in “gondolini”

It is one of the most eagerly awaited sporting events of the year: the best-known rowing champions compete, having been chosen from a long and complex selection in August. The competition is for gondolini, agile, quick boats used only in this regatta. Given the boat’s characteristics, what you need are: natural balance, innate technical ability for the stern oarsman and great strength for the front oarsman, plus a pinch of cunning and a profound knowledge of the currents. For all these reasons it is not unusual to see rowers in their fifties triumph in this competition: experience often has the upper-hand over physical strength.

The exhibition features the “Gluts”, a select group forty sculptural works begun in 1986 and continued intermittently until 1995. After breaking boundaries with his celebrated “Combines”, in the late 1950s, Rauschenberg’s artistic attention in the 1980s turned toward an exploration of the visual properties of metal. Assembling found metal objects such as gas-station signs, deteriorated automotive and industrial parts littering the landscape, he transformed the scrap-metal detritus into wall reliefs and freestanding sculptures that recalled his earlier “Combines”. The series “Gluts” was inspired by a visit to Houston on the occasion of “Robert Rauschenberg: Work from Four Series”, an exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum in 1985. In the mid 1980s, the Texas economy was in the throes of a recession due to a glut (or surplus of supply) in the oil market that Rauschenberg took note of. Asked to comment on the meaning of the “Gluts”, Rauschenberg offered: “It’s a time of glut. Greed is rampant. I’m just exposing it, trying to wake people up. I simply want to present people with their ruins. I think of the ‘Gluts’ as souvenirs without nostalgia. What they are really meant to do is give people an experience of looking at everything in terms of what its many possibilities might be.” Address:<span> </span>Opening hours:<span> </span> Visitor services: Peggy Guggenheim Collection Daily 10 am - 6 pm<span> </span> tel: +39.041.2405.440/419 Palazzo Venier dei Leoni<span> </span> Closed on Tuesdays and December 25 fax: +39.041.520.9083 Dorsoduro 701<span> </span>e-mail: visitorinfo@guggenheim-venice.it I-30123 Venezia

The 53rd edition has arrived, and after 120 years of history, the Biennale is always the most eagerly awaited event for contemporary art lovers all over the world.

“Fare Mondi” (Make Worlds) is the title that the new director, the Swedish critic Daniel Birnbaum, has chosen for the 53rd. International Exhibition of Art which is held at the Giardini and the Arsenale from 7th June until 22nd November 2009 (previews from 4th to 6th June) The title refers to the artist’s act of creating the work of art,is the realization of the ’vision of the world’ of he who creates it. The creative act therefore will be central to Birnbaum’s exhibition and his Biennale will be very aware – with apposite dedicated spaces – to the processes of production of work and the training of the public, another step towards opening the doors of contemporary art to those who don’t know it. “Fare Mondi” will also analyze the relationship between some key artists in the story of contemporary art and the successive generations: the way in which the new artists have been influenced and inspired by them. Following this line, the Biennale has already announced the awarding of two ’leoni d’or’ for career to two “great oldies” of the history of contemporary art: Yoko Ono, pioneer of performance and conceptual art, and John Baldessari, one of the most important visual artists and the most authoritative teacher of the history of art. There are many new things that await the visitors this year. Starting from the extension of the Pavilion dedicated to Italian art: the space at the end of the Arsenale will increase from 800 to 1,800 m.q. including the adja cent Tesa previously a theater, and its entrance will look on to the Giardini delle Vergini; the new bridge that will connect the Arsenale to the sestiere of Castello, under construction at this time, which will connect to the city. The central Pavilion in the Giardini will give up its name of “Padiglione Italia”, and return to being called “Palazzo delle Esposizioni della Biennale” (Palazzo of Exhibition of the Biennale), where part of the international exhibition will be held. So enlarged, the new Italian Pavilion at the Arsenale will be able to host “Collaudi”, a true autonomous exhibition dedicated to Filippo Tommaso Martinetti, organized by the Ministry for heritage and cultural activity.
