\u201cInfinito Cabinet. Maria Cristina Crespo\u201d<\/strong>, curated by Giusy Caroppo<\/strong> and organized by Eclettica Cultura dell\u2019Arte<\/strong>, is a Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia<\/strong>. The exhibition-installation, open to the public from May 9<\/strong> to November 22, 2026<\/strong>, at Riva San Biasio-Castello 2145<\/strong>, takes the form of a contemporary Wunderkammer, somewhere between Andr\u00e9 Malraux\u2019s imaginary museum and Jorge Luis Borges\u2019s unfathomable cosmic library. Composed of multi-material works, it anchors the complex research of the artist Maria Cristina Crespo within the theme of Biennale Arte 2026, \u201cIn Minor Keys\u201d by Koyo Kouoh<\/strong>, offering a reflection on Western culture through a journey through Literature, Art, Myth, Religion, Philosophy, and Places of Belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInfinito Cabinet. Maria Cristina Crespo\u201d<\/strong> presents an iconographic theater in which genres and times interact: the cult of Mithras, popular arts, the East, the West, Africa, Asia, the Americas, Central Europe, and the Mediterranean; Ovid, Dante, Novalis, Pasolini, Artaud, and The Thousand and One Nights come to life alongside myths, saints, heroes, medieval Rome, Orthodox Europe, textile India, Baroque Mexico, Asian deserts, and real or symbolic places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A micro-narration of history takes shape in anthropomorphic vases and stages<\/strong>, among pictorial backdrops, bizarre figures, and grotesque-style recycled fabric dresses. Works with literary titles become instruments of knowledge and wonder, entering the debate on Cancel Culture, to which Crespo counters a non-ideological and \u201ccountercurrent\u201d cultural debate<\/strong>, addressed by the artist from the late 1970s to the present, a time of crisis for Western identity, asserting the complexity of Western identity as a resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Venice<\/strong>, a city of contamination, becomes an emblematic place: a landscape of the Memory of the World, overlooking the Grand Canal, between finite and infinite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
