In Medio Lagunae

In Medio Lagunae is a solo exhibition by Italian artist, researcher, and architect Riccardo Rizzetto. Rooted in the history and geography of the Venetian Lagoon, the show unfolds as a poetic and critical exploration of landscape, memory, and ecological fragility. The exhibition brings together sculptures, photographs, paintings, and soil chromatographies, extending Rizzetto’s ongoing project Eroded Ecologies, initiated at the Centre for Research Architecture (Goldsmiths, University of London).

A garden, somewhat deserted
2025
Ljubljana, Slovenia
RAVNIKAR Projects
A garden, somewhat deserted invites viewers into landscapes where botany, history, and memory intertwine. Neja Tomšič explores Rafut Park in Slovenia and gardens tended by Slovenian women in Alexandria through drawings, sculptures, sound, and prints. The exhibition challenges dominant narratives of nature and botanical control by highlighting intimate, often silenced histories, especially the labor of women. It asks how gardens become sites of cultural memory and political urgency through our relationship with place and history.

Insistent Geographies was a residency and exhibition project that focused on the city of Nicosia. Over 6 weeks we engaged with the urban context through collective readings, site writing, map making, and fieldwork which provided a context for conversations about its history and ongoing transformations. The resulting exhibition reflected on themes including land, infrastructure, myth making, abandonment, and the history of architecture.
