It seems that everyone is always arriving as well as leaving Venice. The city does not betray its portal identity and is always ready to welcome as well as to bid farewell. Those who live here receive every week a message from some friend announcing their arrival, often - unfortunately - on the weekend. Perhaps one of those cursed sunny weekends that make the city so beautiful that it drives anyone to besiege it. Beautiful, but I wouldn’t live there, yes, but why never “beautiful to visit on a foggy Wednesday, when newcomers and perhaps even the Venetians are a bit lonely and an outing would please us so much?.” The most fascinating and visited, desired from every corner of the globe and crowded city to the point of annoyance during the day, but intimate and homey at night. Because after 9 PM, when commuters have returned to the mainland and tourists have digested their bigoli in salsa, the city becomes ours again.
Hangouts is a summary of past exhibitions, many meetings, friends and future collaborations that took and will take place at Lo Studio.
