Berggruen Arts & Culture to Open Dual Exhibitions at Palazzo Diedo in Venice

Berggruen Arts & Culture has announced the opening of two new exhibitions, 'Strange Rules' and 'Unfinished,' at Palazzo Diedo in Venice on May 4, 2026. These presentations will contribute to the ongoing program at the historic Venetian palazzo, focusing on contemporary interdisciplinary practices.

The exhibition 'Strange Rules' is dedicated to Protocol Art, examining its intersections with digital art, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic structures. Curatorial direction for this exhibition involves contributions from figures such as Mat Dryhurst, Holly Herndon, and Hans Ulrich Obrist. It delves into themes of human-machine co-creation and the application of evolutionary algorithms in artistic production.

'Unfinished' will center on the work of conceptual artist Ceal Floyer, known for her minimalist interventions and investigations into perception. The broader program at Palazzo Diedo will also feature works by a range of international artists including Carsten Höller, Urs Fischer, Piero Golia, Ibrahim Mahama, Mariko Mori, Sterling Ruby, Jim Shaw, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Aya Takano, Lee Ufan, and Liu Wei, presented across various mediums such as digital art, video, photography, sound installations, and readymades.
