Tatiana Trouvé: The Strange Life of Things

Tatiana Trouvé, Il mondo delle voci, 2022.

Until Jan 4, 2026
Campo San Samuele, 3231, 30124 Venezia VE, Italy

Tatiana Trouvé mixes fragments from nature with things man-made to communicate ideas about memory and object durability. A drawing, installation, or sculpture by Trouvé can seem eerily familiar, yet you can’t quite remember why. For this exhibition, the French-Italian artist has crafted site-specific works for three floors at Palazzo Grassi. There’s no predicting the results. “Thought is something very malleable to me,” Trouvé told Art in America in 2010. “Sometimes I have an idea for a work, I start to make it, and an incident occurs, something unexpected. Other times a new reflection or way of seeing things compels me to change the project entirely.” —Elena Clavarino
