IN PRAISE OF DOUBT
Punta della Dogana
10 April, 2011 - 31 December, 2012

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.
Among the twenty artists in the exhibition In Praise of Doubt, almost half of them have never been included in previous exhibitions of the François Pinault Collection.
