The Melori & Rosenberg Gallery, a consolidated reality on the contemporary art scene in
the city of Venice since 1996, located in the heart of the Jewish Ghetto, is promoting and
organising the Collective Exhibition entitled "Ghetto d’Artista", under the curatorship of
Martina Campese, to celebrate the European Day of Jewish Culture 2017, Sunday,
September 3, 2017.
The idea was conceived by gallery owner/artist Donatella B. Melori who strives to invite
Italian and European artists to observe, live, breathe, explore, be inspired and leave traces
of their experience in the Venetian Jewish ghetto. Despite there not being a drastic
contrast in the architectonic harmony of the city, there is a tangible diference in
atmosphere in the Ghetto, like being in an island on an island.
Each Artist attending the Collective Exhibition will be required to present a work of art
based on the many aspects of the Jewish Ghetto, its historic, religious, landscape and
architectonic traces..... with a tangible and deeply personal insight into this subject.
The photographic, artistic or sculpture work must measure 30x30 cm with a maximum
depth of 5 cm, and a weight that allows it to be hung on a wall. This will allow works of
distinctly diferent styles to be exhibited with a certain overall harmony.
The works will be exhibited in the Gallery for 10 days, from September 3 - 13, 2017.
The Melori & Rosenberg Gallery has organised and set up many personal and collective
exhibitions at the gallery and also at prestigious external locations, in Italy and abroad
(Jewish Museum of Venice, Church of St. Salvador and St. Roch in Venice, Church of St.
Anthony Abate in Udine, the Leonardo da Vinci City Hall in San Dona di Piave, residence
of the Italian Ambassador in Tel Aviv, Institute of Italian Culture in Jerusalem and Haifa,
San Diego, New York).
The “Ghetto d’Artista" exhibition is part of a project in the making, which began in 2015
with the collective exhibition entitled "As time goes by", the topic being artist watches,
which went on to become a highly successful travelling exhibition.
