Genesis - 2013

Prune Nourry presented the exhibition Genesis in the eighteenth-century Casino Venier during the 2013 Venice Biennale. The casini that sprang up in seventeenth-century Italy were venues for intimate pleasures, ranging from games of love and chance to literary salons. In the midst of a journey through time, the artist explores the myth of Creation, while invoking the themes of gender and the relationship between religion and sexuality.

The exhibition's title also refers to the genesis of sculpture, which Prune Nourry addresses in her work through a variety of media and disciplines.
