Amar Kanwar
Palazzo Grassi
From 29 March 2026 to 10 January 2027
Curated by Jean-Marie Gallais, curator, Pinault Collection
On the upper floor of the Palazzo Grassi, Indian artist Amar Kanwar (born in 1964) presents his latest major installation, The Peacock's Graveyard (2023), part of the Pinault Collection. This unique cinematic experience is a profound meditation on impermanence and the cycle of life, inviting visitors to reconfigure their viewing of non-canonical wisdom as they search for new ways of resistance, reconciliation, and politics. For this exhibition, Amar Kanwar also includes other works that offer deep insights into a moment of history in which every truth seems to have an opposite brutal truth.
Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana are open every day, apart from Tuesdays, from 10 am to 7 pm. Last admission at 6 pm.
Closed on 25 December.
