LU Murano participates in DIVINE - Splendori di Scena exhibition at Galleria Giorgio Franchetti at Ca' d'Oro from 30 August 2014 to 11 January 2015. Maestro Fabio Fornasier's creations are integrated in an exhibition context alongside fantasy jewellery from Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo's collection and create a connection between Murano glass art and contemporary design.
Participation marks recognition for LU Murano, with works integrated in a context of great cultural significance. Ca' d'Oro monumental complex becomes venue where Murano lighting integrates with American creative goldsmithing from twentieth century and highlights both expressive forms.
DIVINE - Splendori di Scena exhibition leads visitors to discovery of creative goldsmithing made with non-precious materials and explores world of bijoux and fantasy jewellery created in United States between 1930s and 1970s, enriched by contemporary design. Presence of LU Murano lighting underlines how art can express itself through different media.
For art collectors, museum curators and design enthusiasts, exhibition at Ca' d'Oro offers opportunity to observe different forms of applied art. LU Murano creations emphasise exhibition through light distribution enhancing colours and reflections.
Inauguration coincides with International Film Festival and attracts international audience of cinema personalities, art critics and collectors in heart of Venice.
Selection of LU Murano works for exhibition lighting responds to lighting design studied to enhance chromatic and material characteristics of fantasy jewellery exhibited. Colourful necklaces, eccentric earrings, imaginative brooches and bold design bracelets find in Maestro Fornasier's creations light appropriate emphasis.
Light quality produced by LU Murano works proves essential for museum installation, where every detail must be valorised. For museum installers and lighting designers specialised in art exhibitions, this collaboration demonstrates importance of artistic lighting in cultural enjoyment.
Integration of LU Murano creations in Ca' d'Oro installation testifies how Murano glass art can assume scenographic functions, maintain own identity and simultaneously highlight other art objects.
Participation in DIVINE exhibition opens prospects for collaborations with museum institutions and cultural events. Capacity to integrate artistic lighting in different exhibition contexts demonstrates versatility of Maestro Fornasier's creations and positions LU Murano as partner for quality cultural installations.
