CURRENT SHOW:
Simona Bramati’s INDISCRETIONS
24 SEPTEMBER> 23 OCTOBER 2011 - Venice, Giudecca 795 Art Gallery curated by Beatrice Buscaroli
On Saturday, 24 September 2011, at 6 pm, Giudecca 795 Art Gallery is unveiling Indiscrezioni(Indiscretions), its new one-woman show of work by Italian painter Simona Bramati. The Gallery, whichspecialises in young and emerging Italian artists, enlisted the help of Beatrice Buscaroli to curate theexhibition with the cooperation of poet and writer Davide Rondoni.
Bramati's career was launched by art critic and curator Vittorio Sgarbi. Bramati won the International“Satura Prize 2010” and, after a series of exhibits, important acknowledgements, and acquisitions bymuseums, Bramati was invited to participate in the 54th Venice Biennial "Padiglione Italia regione Marche".“Sumptuous and refined," Buscaroli writes, "Bramati’s paintings give a face to difficult contemporary issuesand to mythologies and abstractions. The new cycle of canvasses shown in Venice is focused on a variety ofdramatic aspects concerning the condition of women in the world: spying eyes, indiscreet and shining;exhibited and violated bodies; and tiny details of beautiful feminine silhouettes which mark the fundamentalsteps in a pattern which is revealed only in the end, unveiling the lost and participating gaze of the artist.”
"Indiscrezioni" is supported by the Regione del Veneto, Provincia di Venezia, Comune di Venezia (CulturalActivities Council) with the valuable help of Moncaro, Gruppo Gola della Rossa, Green Remedies, and Larenzia. Media partner: Artitude. Visual Communication: Creative Project.Promoted and organised by il Leone di Plastica and Marche Atipica cultural associations.The show will be open to the public until Sunday, 23 October 2011. Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10:30-18:00and by appointment. Closed on Monday.

NIGHTLIFE>
In spite of its quiet atmosphere, Giudecca in the evening may show more life than St.Marks'.
In the summertime, a local habit is fishing (!) along the banks
Very essential, but life saving if you are starving: the "late bar" at the Zitelle, managed by a Chinese family.
At the Molino Stucky Hotel, the 8th floor "Skyline Bar" often hosts theme parties; DJ on Friday and Saturday night.
Next theme party: 31 October 2011, Halloween
