THE IDEA OF SCULPTURE

FROM THE HAND TO THE ROBOT

On the occasion of the 2025 Architecture Biennale - Intelligens, Natural, Artificial, Collective - the exhibition "The Idea of Sculpture: From the Hand to the Robot" will open to the public on August 30 at Palazzo Bollani in Venice. Curated by art critic Roberta Semeraro together with project manager Giovanna Cicutto, the show traces the evolution of sculpture across centuries.

The exhibition brings together drawings, three-dimensional plaster models, finished works, and even a working sculpting robot, to explore how sculpture has evolved - from forms shaped solely by human hands to today's use of artificial intelligence to transform ideas into physical objects....
