The Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova will expand the sphere and the area of its operation by adding to the Magazzino del Sale Emilio Vedova's renovated Studio, which will become another public space for exhibitions and encounters with art. This enlargement coincides with the simultaneous staging of two important and original shows, organized by Germano Celant and devoted to previously unexplored aspects of the work of Louise Bourgeois, with the presentation of her Fabric Drawings, never exhibited all together before, and of the work of Emilio Vedova, with its powerful interweaving of painting and sculpture, never thoroughly analysed.
