The Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore will present The Shape of Time, a major survey of the sculptural practice of the American artist Barry X Ball that celebrates the meeting between technological advances and Renaissance tradition set within the architectural masterpiece of Andrea Palladio. The artist’s works will be in dialogue with the sacred space of the Palladian Basilica, reinterpreting the past through a bold and experimental formal approach.

The Shape of Time will bring together 23 sculptures in the basilica, with most of these works being shown to the public for the first time. It is curated by the renowned critic Bob Nickas

with the coordination of Carmelo A. Grasso, Director and Institutional Curator of Abbazia di San Giorgio Maggiore – ETS branch. The exhibition highlights creations from five distinct series, each showcased in carefully selected locations within the basilica.
