Biography / Dana Venezia

Dana Venezia is a visual artist and filmmaker. She creates experimental documentaries, exploring the liminal boundaries between fiction and non-fiction narratives. Her works deal with belief mechanisms, control, authorship and communication; evoking the constant quest for truth.

Venezia holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art History from Tel Aviv University and a Master’s in Fine Arts from the Royal College of Arts in London. Her films have been screened in museums, galleries and film festivals worldwide.

About the project

For her project, Dana Venezia will work with the term and concept of the ineffable. Our times are structured and dominated by language, and the artist proposes to challenge speech and look into the spaces and ideas between words. What is being articulated, and what is being left behind? Venezia will look into what cannot be expressed through language and how much we lose through verbal communication.

Fresh A.I.R. #8 | LINGUISTIC XPEDITION
On October 27, 2023, we celebrate the opening of our exhibition of the Fresh A.I.R. scholars. Twelve artists from eight European countries have dedicated themselves for ten months to this year's theme LINGUISTIC XPEDITION. They investigated the act of speaking as a constitutive element of human perception and communication. The artistic exploration ranges from aspects of everyday language use, verbal language actions, language thinking and language action to the structural power of language.
