Red Passion

This glass set by Lino Tagliapietra consists of five hand-blown glass pieces that were crafted using multi-colored glass rods.

Curated by the Michelangelo Foundation, this international celebration of contemporary craftsmanship takes place in Venice, Italy from September 1 to 30. Now in its third edition, Homo Faber brings together Italian film director Luca Guadagnino and architect Nicolò Rosmarini as art directors to explore The Journey of Life through the lens of craft. The exhibition will feature ten themed spaces across the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, each offering immersive scenography with over 800 handcrafted objects by more than 400 artisans from 60 countries. Visitors can enjoy live demonstrations, unique cullinary experiences, and exclusive opportunities to visit 70 open workshops throughout Venice as part of Homo Faber in Città.

This year marks the first time the biennial craft exhibition has invited artists from the United States to showcase their work. We are excited to introduce and share works by Andrea Dezsö, Ginny Ruffner and Bronson Shonk, and look forward to continuing our collaboration with the Michelangelo Foundation.
