In conjunction with the 53rd Venice Biennale, Fondazione Querini Stampalia are exhibiting 'Interior Landscape', new and recent works by Mona Hatoum. The exhibition, curated by Chiara Bertola, is comprised of twenty-five works exhibited over two floors of the museum including the new piece ‘Interior Landscape’, a bedroom installation composed of furnitiure and domestic elements. Hatoum has also made numerous interventions in the Museum’s collection, using the furniture as a framework for new ideas and existing works. Hatoum’s work addresses issues of individual and political identity, displacement and conflict by transforming the familiar and domestic into foreign, uncanny objects.
A catalogue in English and Italian is available with the exhibition.
