    In April 2024, Palazzo Diedo opened its doors to the public with the exhibition JANUS, featuring 11 original permanent interventions by 11 internationally renowned artists: Urs Fischer, Piero Golia, Carsten Höller, Ibrahim Mahama, Mariko Mori, Sterling Ruby, Jim Shaw, Hiroshi Sugimoto, AYA TAKANO, Lee Ufan and Liu Wei.

    The artists’ contributions have been conceived in response to the architecture and original features of the 18th-century building by architect Andrea Tirali, once home to one of Venice’s most powerful families and formerly a primary school and court. The works are inspired by traditional crafts associated with Venice, such as frescos, Murano glass, precious fabrics, and Venetian floor design.
