A warm invitation to a public conversation:
On Wednesday, 16 September, Rainald Franz, one of Europe’s leading specialists in glass and the decorative arts, joins Paola Petrobelli studio_paolapetrobelli at CASA YALI CASA YALI in Venice for a conversation during The Venice Glass Week The Venice Glass Week.

Franz is Curator of the Glass and Ceramics Collection at the MAK in Vienna Museum für angewandte Kunst Wien. Petrobelli, born in Padua and based in London, has developed an internationally recognised practice in glass, informed by her early training in molecular biology. Her work has been presented at Design Miami/Basel Design Miami and Triennale Milano Triennale Milano, and she has collaborated with Christian Dior Dior Official.
Held on the occasion of Biennale Arte 2026 La Biennale di Venezia, the conversation accompanies «GLAS, PLEXI», Petrobelli’s first solo exhibition in Venice. The show presents a new body of work combining handblown glass with acrylic, with light playing an active role in how the objects are perceived.

The exhibition is presented by CASA YALI CASA YALI in collaboration with Siegfried Contemporary Siegfried Contemporary, the art and design platform founded by Andreas Siegfried in 2010.

«GLAS, PLEXI» remains on view throughout The Venice Glass Week and until 22 November 2026.

These works by Ann Iren Buan might look like a painting at first, but the artist sees them as drawings - expanded and manipulated to challenge what a drawing can be.

Through the use of carmine red, Buan invokes a stark feeling via heavy layers of pigment across the 3 works on show. Dry pastel is built up into dense, almost fleshy accumulations that rupture the surface of the paper. Pigment shifts between smooth, atmospheric fields and thick, crumpled protrusions.

The framing contains the works but also intensifies their internal tension. Rather than stabilising the image, it heightens the sense that the material is pressing outward, as if on the verge of exceeding its own limits.

For more information on the works presented, please get in touch.

“I think of my work as bodies. They’re subjects, not like a human, but they are a body.”

We visited Ann Iren Buan in Oslo and spoke about the forms that inhabit her practice. Moving between drawing and sculpture, Buan creates works that exist somewhere between object and presence.

In CARMINE ASHES, these forms emerge through material experimentation and transformation, blurring the boundaries between body, memory, and matter.

Ann Iren Buan (b. 1984) lives and works in Oslo. She received her MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts, Oslo, in 2011.

Congrats to for his latest solo presentation with .curated in South Korea. I have discovered Weon's unique work through the art and craft price where he was nominated in 2024. His work is unique in the way it's constructed. His PRIMITIVE STRUCTURES series of side tables delve into the cultural, historical, and societal landscapes of his upbringing, drawing inspiration from South Korean dolmen - supposed prehistoric burial sites built from stone, usually shaped like a table. They embody the essence of landscape, preserving cultural and natural narratives. This is also innate to the material he uses: PSL (Parallel Strand Lumber), engineered wood from waste material created by compressing wood strands, a process similar to the formation of sedimentary layers. Holes that remain in between the layers are filled with more wood, a meticulous process creating a dense, unique material that bears witness to the process of its creation and evokes images of geology and botany. It's have shown his work at my space in Saanen Switzerland in winter 2025. He will be showcased at opening in Venice in September. Go and see the show it's always a treat !

Erwin Wurm is showing a major monographic exhibition titled “Dreamers” hosted at the Museo Fortuny, coinciding with the 61st Venice Biennale. The exhibition features new and celebrated sculptures, including “Substitutes” and “One Minute Sculptures,” exploring themes of body, identity, and consumerism.

In this presentation, Wurm continues to rethink the concept of sculpture itself. Humour opens into philosophical and social questions as Wurm stages the tensions of contemporary society, criticising the pressures of capitalism and externally imposed identity constructions.

For more information on works available by Erwin Wurm, please get in touch with the gallery directly.

Action shots of last night’s opening for Paola Petrobelli’s ‘Glas, Plexi’ in Venice. Thank you to Casa Yali () for such a nice evening - and of course all attendees who showed up.

The exhibition brings together a new series in handblown glass including the unconventional combination of acrylic and glass. The materials engage in a subtle dialogue, creating compositions that explore form, colour, spatial relationships, and light as an active, constitutive element of the work. In fact light goes through the pieces, shaping their perception and allowing the glass to exist as a self-sustaining, autonomous form, independent from external lighting or context conditions.
