Salone Verde - art & social club

“Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost” is a new exhibition by American artist and singer-songwriter Jewel. Visual artist and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Jewel brings her multidisciplinary art practice to Venice with an immersive exhibition of painting, sculpture, installation, tapestry, and sound works created especially for this project. Curated by Joe Thompson and presented in association with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art @crystalbridgesmuseum , the exhibition explores themes of motherhood, feminine power, and the consequences of its loss. The exhibition will feature never-before-seen painting, sculpture, tapestry, installation, and sound works that Jewel has created specifically for this exhibition, the largest presentation of this multi-faceted artist to date. “At first glance, this exhibition centers on issues of femininity, power, and ecological consciousness, but at its core it is about memory, both profoundly personal and alarmingly global,” comments Jewel. “If something of a cautionary tale, my hope is that the show reminds us what it feels like to be in closer harmony, inviting us to unearth ways to reconnect us to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.” Visitors encounter luminous glass constellations, surreal paintings, myth-inspired textiles, and immersive soundscapes composed by the artist. Data-driven works such as “Heart of the Ocean”transform real-time environmental information into music and light, developed in collaboration with scientists from NASA, Stanford University, and University of California, Berkeley. A central work in the exhibition, “First Mother”, is a monumental sculpture created in collaboration with Patrick Bongoy @patrickbongoy , exploring the idea of a shared human origin and the generative power of motherhood. Come experience an exhibition that invites us to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the planet.

An open place for people who want to think further about living together – economically, technically, musically, literarily, theatrically, sociologically, with consideration for resources and consideration for others – holistically – an art & social club. - Un ambiente aperto per persone che vogliono pensare ancor di più alla coesistenza - economicamente, tecnicamente, musicalmente, letterariamente, teatralmente, sociologicamente, con considerazione per le risorse e considerazione per il prossimo- in modo olistico - un Art & Social Club. . #saloneverde #biennale #venezia #exhibition #showroom #artgallery #socialclub #community

Where the "salone" of a palazzo used to be, there is now an open, inner courtyard. The upper floors of the palazzo have disappeared and with them the salone. Facades, family coats of arms and traces of the ceiling construction remind us that once there was more to this place. The salone, the central room where the family meets and receives guests, belongs to the past. In its place steps a new site where people can come together - a symposium for talking and working, rooms for exhibitions, music and dance. If you put up a table, you can eat together.

Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost has officially premiered in Venice ✨ Created in association with @crystalbridgesmuseum and curated by Joe Thompson, this deeply personal body of work explores motherhood, feminine power, and what is lost when that power is diminished. Featuring new paintings, sculptures, tapestry, installations, and sound pieces, this is my largest visual art presentation to date. On view now until November 22, 2026.

Nearly 200 guests from the international art world gathered on May 7 for the opening of “Matriclysm: An Archaeology of Connections Lost” by Jewel. The evening featured an exclusive preview of the exhibition, intimate walkthroughs with the artist, curator Joe Thompson, Curator-at-Large for Crystal Bridges, and Rod Bigelow, whose institution @crystalbridgesmuseum presented the show. For the occasion, Jewel wore the iconic Schiaparelli paintbrush gown designed by Daniel Roseberry - a surrealist masterpiece adorned with 6,000 hand-embroidered golden brass brushes that move like painted strokes, merging fashion and art. After the intimate exhibition tour, Jewel performed a live melody from the installation Seven Sisters, an immersive sound and light piece that transforms data from the Plaiedes constellation into a flickering light pattern that moves among seven hand-blown glass orb sculptures.  It was a true honour for us at Salone Verde to host an event of such international resonance, bringing together artists, curators, collectors, and friends from across the global art community.  Discover more about the exhibition: /art/matriclysm To learn more about Salone Verde: Photos by Matthew Takes #Matriclysm #Jewel #biennalearte #veniceart

TEXTILES TRADITION TRANSFORMATION by Claudia Kohlhoff part of “keep cool! Workshop for cool Cities” Architect and collector Claudia Kohlhoff invites us to discover how history, craftsmanship, and transformation are woven together. Since 2018, with the help of young couturiers @attol__lotta @fu_textiles @______sarah_ @mirage_morgana Claudia has been transforming the traditional textiles from her collection into so-called “wearable objects”, unique garments that unite material memory and contemporary design. In this post, we’d like to share the stories behind some of these remarkable pieces. 🪡 Wearable Objects I "Brokatkostüm" Made from Russian silk brocade and Turkish silk bed linen. The brocade shown at the 1889 Paris World’s Fair was discovered in an Istanbul bazaar. It was remounted onto transparent silk, becoming a precious ladies costume. 👗Wearable Objects II An asymmetrical jacket, baggy trousers, a reversible jacket "Kastenjacke", a long coat "Karomantel", and a skirt with different layers. Created from rural German bed linens, the fabric was deconstructed and reshaped with minimal intervention. Buttonholes, selvedges, and irregular proportions guided the new form, celebrating simplicity and restraint. 🌸 Object III A warm winter costume. Born from a pink wool mattress cover used by Turkish nomads. Layered with cotton and linen, it transforms warmth and resilience into a tactile winter garment. 📕Curated by: Claudia Kohlhoff and Catherine Rennert 💼Project organization: @veniceartfactory ; Predieri Carini Architetti; Claudia Kohlhoff and Diane Ziegler 💡Lighting and Media design: Deggendorf Institute of Technology @th_deggendorf (Sabine Wiesend, Franziska Rieder, Ariane Heisswolf, Golnar Mohammad Ali Beiki) 📐Exhibition technician: Gregor Saint André 🎶Sound design: Marc Vogler 📷 Photos by: @juliablankphotography 📍 On view at Salone Verde, Venice 📅 2 Nov – 30 Dec 2025 🕙 Opening hours in December: Fri–Sun, 10:00–18:00 🔗 keepcool.saloneverde.com/textiles-tradition-transformation 🔗 kohlhoff-archiv.de #ClaudiaKohlhoff #TextilesTraditionTransformation #SaloneVerde #keepcool #VeniceArt #TextileArt #biennalearchitettura2025

TEXTILES TRADITION TRANSFORMATION Exhibition by Claudia Kohlhoff Architect and textile collector Claudia Kohlhoff (b. 1946, Germany) studied architecture in Aachen, Zurich, and Stuttgart, where she graduated. After years of architectural practice shared with her husband Sven and countless travels, she developed a deep passion for textiles discovered in bazaars, flea markets, and small local shops around the world. Guided by her personal aesthetic rather than museum criteria, Claudia built an extensive textile collection. Since 2018, she has been transforming these materials into garments, wearable “objects”, developed through a complex, sensitive, and creative process with highly skilled young couturiers. Each piece reinterprets traditional textiles into a new, contemporary form, merging tradition and transformation, the past and the present, the textile and the body. The process and its many details are documented through artistic photography. ______________________________________________________________________ Exhibition: Textiles Tradition Transformation Part of "keep cool!
