Riccardo Venturi’s seminar engages with the dimension of time, both chronological and meteorological. Focusing on air and the phenomena inhabiting the sky, Venturi investigates how meteors relate to art and artistic processes. Conceiving air as a medium experienced without substance, the seminar unfolds in dialogue with participants, emphasizing that landscape formation is also shaped by meteors. The seminar takes place during a thunderstorm, within the PVC walls of the MUSE canopy.
