Opening: June 11, 2026 at 6.00 pm

Palazzo Cavallerini Lazzaroni
Via dei Barbieri 7, Rome

On a formal level, Sbârciu’s painting sits on the borderline between figuration and abstraction, relying on the sign as the central element of visual construction. In this perspective, the work dialogues with ’s thought, according to which meaning arises from the interpretation of signs within open systems.

Sbârciu’s painting thus becomes a plastic expression of the concept of the “open work” (opera aperta) coined by Eco.

From June 11 to July 12, 2026, the historic spaces of Palazzo Cavallerini Lazzaroni in Rome will host the solo exhibition "Intuitive Force” by the renowned Romanian painter Ioan Sbârciu.

The exhibition features a selection of medium and large-scale works, conceived as a visual journey where pictorial practice dialogues with the traditions of literature and philosophical thought by Umberto Eco and Giorgio Agamben.

Opening: June 11, 2026 at 6.00 pm

Palazzo Cavallerini Lazzaroni, Via dei Barbieri 7, Rome

The Mongolia Pavilion, titled “Entanglements: Connectivities Across Borders”, features the work by Nomin Bold, Dorjderem Davaa, Gerelkhuu Ganbold, and Tuguldur Yondonjamts.

The exhibition foregrounds Mongolia’s historic Eurasian connections and the ways centuries of diplomacy, trade, and cultural exchange continue to inform contemporary artistic practice.
Led by curator Dr. Uranchimeg Tsultem and co-curator Thomas Eller, the Pavilion brings together artists whose work engages with spiritual diversity, human and nonhuman relations, and the movement of materials and ideas across continents.

While waiting for Art Biennale 2026, Zuecca Project brings you back in time and shows you some of its highlights of the pasts Biennale editions!

1.⁠ ⁠MARINA ABRAMOVIC - THE KITCHEN, 13.05 – 26.11.2017

2.⁠ ⁠Jonas Mekas - THE INTERNET SAGA, 7.05 - 22.08.2015
The Internet Saga was the only project dedicated to art on the web to be inaugurated on the occasion of the 56th Venice Art Biennial. The main protagonist was the independent cinema legend Jonas Mekas.
Curated by the Francesco Urbano Ragazzi duo and in collaboration with Zuecca Projects, the Internet Saga
was hosted at Palazzo Foscari Contarini, a sixteenthcentury noble residence overlooking the Grand Canal, converted in a Burger King restaurant.

3.⁠ ⁠Ai Weiwei - S.A.C.R.E.D., 29.05 – 15.09.2013
As a Collateral Event of the 55th International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia, Zuecca Projects presented an exhibition of Ai Weiwei: S.A.C.R.E.D, an extraordinary work addressing his April 2011 arrest by the Chinese government. This was the first time the artist has directly responded to his incarceration through a work in a public exhibition.
