Fondazione Dries Van Noten
Fondazione Dries Van Noten opens in Venice with its inaugural exhibition at Palazzo Pisani Moretta, introducing a new platform dedicated to craftsmanship as a living, evolving practice. Founded by Dries Van Noten, the space activates the layered interiors of the Venetian Gothic palazzo, overlooking the Grand Canal, as a site where historical legacy and contemporary production intersect.
Curated by Dries Van Noten together with Geert Bruloot, The Only True Protest Is Beauty unfolds across more than twenty rooms, bringing together over two hundred works spanning fashion, art, design, and material experimentation. Contemporary contributions, including works by designers and artists like Christian Lacroix and Comme des Garçons, are embedded within this historical fabric, emphasizing craftsmanship as a shared language across time and geographies.
