For over a century, the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation has been pursuing the goal of its founder, Duchess Felicita Bevilacqua, who dedicated her home, Ca' Pesaro, to the cause of promoting the work of young artists in Venice.

the young studio artists will use these spaces to exhibit works created for the 12th Architecture Biennale 'People meet in Architecture'. The challenge is twofold: on the one hand, they will be using what is normally a domestic environment for an exhibition of heterogeneous works, distinguishable from one another by the different artistic languages and techniques used to create them. And then, on the other, they will be working with several themes concerning architecture, the dominant influence in the association with the Venice Biennale. Their exhibits, in this 'domestic setting', will include camouflaged installations, research, urban works projects and discrete relational structures. In this sense, the freedom of action on the theme of architecture, the restricted exhibiting possibilities and the particular connotations of the settings combine to form a provocative and stimulating context for the studio artists to put themselves to the test.
