The Corderie in the Arsenale starts off with this capsule, inspired by sci–fi author Ursula K. Le Guin, who links the birth of civilisation not to the invention of weapons, but to tools used for providing sustenance and care: bags, sacks, and vessels.
Taking up her potent metaphor, this display is conceived as an iconology of vessels in various forms – including nets, bags, eggs, shells, bowls, and boxes – and their symbolic, spiritual, or metaphorical links to nature and the body, whether realised in bag–like sculptural shapes, volumetric ceramics, or scientific explorations of bodily reproduction.
Artists: Ruth Asawa, Maria Bartuszová, Aletta Jacobs, Maruja Mallo, Maria Sibylla Merian, Sophie Taeuber–Arp, Toshiko Takaezu, Bridget Tichenor, Tecla Tofano.
