From April 10th 2011 Punta della Dogana will show In Praise of Doubt, curated by Caroline Bourgeois, a presentation of historical pieces and new works including several site-specific projects that question the idea of uncertainty, our convictions about identity, and revisit the relationship between intimate space and the space of artwork.
