VAenezia, April 30th (askanews) – The Correr Museum of Venice lives on the set -up vision of Carlo Scarpa, of its ability to create contemporary spaces within which to host ancient masterpieces, such as the “Dead Christ supported by the angels” of Antonello da Messina or the two “Venetian ladies” of Carpaccio. Now, to put even more in light the value of the architect’s interventions and its inheritance towards the future of the museum, the exhibition “The Correr of Carlo Scarpa” was set up in the room of the four doors.
“We searched – he told askanews Mariacristina Gribaudi, president of the Venice Civic Museums Foundation – to have Carlo Scarpa again among us, who was a visionary man, was a man who is still totally present. The whole Museum Correr, the first and second floor talk about Carlo Scarpa. So on our part there was precisely this desire to be able to bring it back to the museum and explain all the activities he has made and his way of thinking.
The exhibition proposes a return of the architecture and furnishings Scarpiani del Correr, through vintage photographs of the photographic archive and original specimens of the design objects created by a shoe for the museum: showcases and display cases, the famous stand, supports, joints and joints. Which observed today make it clear how much the setting is itself the work of art. “It is never an external element – added the president Gribaudi – but it is part of the museum itself, it is part of the work, he merges into the work with this ability to adapt that we find wonderful and which just emerges in every corner and in every room of the Correr museum”.
The aim of the project is the philological recovery by restoration or maintenance of what is preserved: on the first floor, some rooms modified over time, with the restoration of various original museographic elements; On the second floor, the entire setting system still almost intact and, to be said, now an essential part of the same identity as Correr.
