Our 2022 Venice Art Biennale with the title “SIDE BY SIDE” – with the Saphira & Ventura Gallery located in the heart of Giardini, will be organized and hosted by the New York International Contemporary Art Society in Venice, Italy in collaboration with artists, designers, curators, and corporations.
We are happy and proud to see that several international artists are pleased to collaborate with us. Through this exhibition, we aim to acknowledge the influence of art and technology on our daily life and the art market.
Our project will explore the metaverse market by showcasing a wide variety of projects, ranging from concepts, drawings, models, videos, photographs, and NTFS.
In 2021, together with our sponsors, KFW Bank of Germany, among others, we presented established architects and companies such as Patricia O’Reilly, Allan Ritchie, Gotham Innovation Greenhouse Team, Neil Kerman, Alexandre Mavignier, Ostap Pataky, Tuffi Mousse, and along with several other emerging professionals in the field.
We also had sponsorship from KFW Bank in Germany, Maranhão State Government in Brazil, BRETON Interior Design Firm, Fribal Gourmet Agribusiness, SERGE FERRARI Interiors, VOR Technology, Indusparquet Group, Shanghai Music New University among other institutions.
We invite you to explore the topics of the “SIDE BY SIDE” 2022 program.. The 2022 edition will focus on sustainability, innovation and technology materials, and the relationship with the natural environment. Regarding the space, we did our best to select a space in Venice to establish Saphira & Ventura Gallery in an excellent location in the Giardino area. The Giardino, a prime location, is where all the big pavilions are, including the United States and main European and Asian countries.
International Identity
>> SEPTEMBER 8 –14 <<
Identity in art has been present since its inception, and the variety of cross-cultural influences has greatly shaped how artworks explain and communicate a subject to their spectator. In International Identities, we seek to combine the interconnectivity of art and artists from different nations, revealing the evocative nature of international vs national identity within a body of work and how these come together in themselves and in the broader exhibition.
Inspired by Great Moments
>> SEPTEMBER 16–22 <<
In approaching a photography as work of art, the inspirations behind its creation are numerous. From personal experiences, natural beauty, and timeless subjects, the photographer has been struck by inspiration from their great moments. This exhibition explores this theme and showcases works emphasizing bold and engaging photography works inspired by such crucial moments and the aesthetic they reach for.
Analog & NFTs
>> SEPTEMBER 24 – 30 <<
What makes art? This has been a question asked from time immemorial and with the fluctuation of mediums and distribution, new forms of art are just on the horizon. Analog vs NFT glances at artworks with a digital non-fungible component (NFT) and artworks with a physical fungible component (Analog). Uniting the two in a Phygital exhibition to highlight the plurality of changes in mediums, ideas, and stylistic approaches.
