Ephemere

EPHEMERE is now open in Campo San Maurizio, Venice.

Presented by Lo Studio–Nadja Romain, Ephemere is a temporary summer presentation set within the iconic space of Gallery Alessandro Zoppi on Campo San Maurizio.

The project begins with a conversation between Nadja Romain and Giovanna Ferrero Ventimiglia, the artist behind Piccoli Smalti, both inspired by a place that holds particular significance in Venice. The gallery’s late founder, Alessandro Zoppi, was a cherished presence in the city, and it is an honour to bring this selection into a space so deeply connected to its cultural life.

At the heart of Ephemere are the Piccoli Smalti: intimate enamel works by Giovanna Ferrero Ventimiglia, presented alongside a selection of art, design and decorative objects chosen by Nadja Romain. The presentation brings together current and future collaborations, with works by Annick Lestrohan, Armand Louis, Casey McCafferty, Clément Gloaguen, Irene Cattaneo, and Marco Parmeggiani.

Conceived for the season, Ephemere gathers pieces across sculpture, furniture, painting, glass, ceramics, wood, lighting, editions and collectible objects — each selected for its material presence, intimacy and sense of place.

Taking its name from the fleeting and the temporary, Ephemere invites visitors to encounter works in a more immediate and personal way: objects to collect, live with, offer, or carry home from Venice.
