Description: "The House of Life, a poetic and expansive installation by Hadassa Goldvicht, explores themes of historical memory; the threshold between life, death, myth, and art; and the rapidly changing nature of Venice, via a multi-channel video work that will be installed at the Querini Stampalia in conjunction with the Venice Biennale. Presented by the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, in collaboration with Meislin Projects, the exhibition follows Aldo Izzo, the 86-year-old guardian and keeper of the Jewish cemeteries in Venice."--
Notes: Catalogue of an exhibition held May - November 2017, Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice. Project initiated and organized by Meislin Projects, New York, in collaboration with Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice.
