A plus A is a gallery dedicated to experimenting with new exhibition formats and promoting international artists in the production of exhibitions and projects. A plus A equals conceptual and aesthetically excellence combined to generosity. It involves practical knowledge and teaching experience, memory and intellectual presence. Among our principal activities is the The School for Curatorial Studies Venice, which since 2004 has welcomed students from around the world to participate in the Course in Curatorial Practices and Contemporary Arts. Historically A plus A has been the official venue for the Slovenian pavilion at the Venice Biennale from 1998 till 2014. During this period it has been a hub for Slovene, local and international artists functioning during the whole year as a public gallery and not only as a national pavilion. A plus A is directed by Aurora Fonda and Sandro Pignotti.
The School for Curatorial Studies Venice
is working with the gallery hand in hand. It was founded by Aurora Fonda in 2004 in Venice with the purpose of creating an open laboratory for the expression of creativity in the field of visual arts and the professions related to contemporary art. The Course in Curatorial Practices and Contemporary Arts, now in its 25nd edition, is articulated on both a practical and theoretical level towards an experimental approach, culminating in a final event organized by the participating students. The course is an ambitious and challenging project that aims to offer a vision of the complex world of contemporary art and offers a constructive contribution through the works produced by the School and its students.
