A courageous project – an exhibition conceived as a single work of art, with nine rooms on the second floor of the Museo Correr housing some forty different pieces. Lawrence Carroll is an American artist of Australian origin who now works in Venice. This exhibition is not an attempt to provide a critical pigeonhole for his 25-year career; nor does it aim to present works in chronological order. Instead, the exhibition itself is a creative work, with the artist freely expressing himself in various site-specific installations that are adapted to the size of each individual room. Various strands link neighbouring rooms; overall, there is a continuing shift in visual and spatial perception, with an exploration of different materials and themes. Placed against the walls, in the corners or on the floor, these works of varying size comprise both identifiable objects and more abstract content. The overall effect is one of great poetic impact.
