Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice has announced the upcoming exhibition ‘Luca Rento. Prima che tutto s vanisca’, scheduled to run from 25 September 2026 through 17 January 2027. The announcement, issued as a save-the-date notice, identifies Luca Rento as the featured artist and the Fondazione Querini Stampalia as the venue.
The notice provides no further information about the exhibition’s works, format, curatorial team or themes. Details of the presentation are therefore yet to be announced. The title appears in the institution’s announcement as ‘Prima che tutto s vanisca’.
The exhibition will take place at Fondazione Querini Stampalia, a historic cultural institution in Venice. The foundation describes itself as one of Italy’s oldest cultural institutions, with a mission dating to 1869 and activities spanning exhibitions, architecture, a public library, education and events.
The institution occupies the former Querini Stampalia family residence in the Castello district. Its museum collection presents the domestic life of a Venetian palazzo between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including family furnishings, works of art and frescoes. The foundation also incorporates the Carlo Scarpa area, formed through the architect’s restoration of the building, as well as an auditorium designed by Mario Botta.
The forthcoming project will join a programme that, according to the foundation’s current website, includes exhibitions devoted to contemporary and modern art alongside presentations connected to the institution’s collection and architecture. The site lists ‘Cosmotechnics: Ding Yi as a Planetary Code’ in the Carlo Scarpa area from 5 May to 22 November 2026, and ‘The Invisible Chord. Hans Hartung and Music’ from 5 May to 13 September 2026. Those dates indicate that the Luca Rento exhibition is planned as a later presentation within the foundation’s 2026–27 schedule, rather than as part of either of those projects.
For the Luca Rento exhibition itself, the confirmed information remains limited to the artist’s name, the title, the venue and the dates. The exhibition is set to open on 25 September 2026 and remain on view until 17 January 2027 at Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Castello 5252, Venice.
