20 April – 24 November 2024
Venice, 10 April 2024 – Fondazione dell’Albero d’Oro is pleased to present, as a Collateral Event of the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, the exhibition Per non perdere il fifilo. Karine N’guyen Van Tham – Parul ThThacker, curated by Daniela Ferretti.

The exhibition, conceived and produced by Fondazione dell’Albero d’Oro for Palazzo Vendramin Grimani, hosts the Franco- Vietnamese artist Karine N’guyen Van ThTham (Marseille, 1988) and India’s Parul ThThacker (Mumbai, 1973). ThThe artists have spent some time in Venice starting late February and collaborated on the installation of the exhibition, which includes site-specifific works designed especially for the spaces of the Palazzo in the San Polo sestiere of Venice. Difffferent by origin, training, sensitivity and methods of expression, Karine N’guyen Van ThTham and Parul ThThacker built their dialogue around the privileged theme of the thread (hence the term ‘fifilo’ in the title of the exhibition, which translates as ‘So as not to lose the thread’), intended as an expressive medium, a source of inspiration, a metaphor that alludes to writing; one that develops physically in the braiding, in the weaving and in the art of embroidery.
