THE POETICS OF WRITTEN SPACE. Handwriting and calligraphy.

Project

The exhibition, part of the educational activities proposed by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, presents an itinerary that is a synthesis of traditional and contemporary visual communication through handwriting.

The exhibition, curated by Monica Dengo and Monica Viero, proposes handwritten documents from the Museum Correr Library, in particular materials documenting the private and daily use of handwriting over the centuries, along with contemporary artworks of art that have in common the practice of writing by hand as image, bundle of written marks capable of communicating.
