5.0 based on 4 reviews
Located in the Church of San Lorenzo in Venice, Ocean Space is a planetary center for exhibitions, activations, research and public programs catalyzing ocean literacy, and advocacy through the arts. Established and led by TBA21–Academy and building on its expansive work over the past ten years, this embassy for the oceans fosters wonder, engagement and collective action. In 2019, Ocean Space opened to the public with the exhibition “Moving Off the Land II” by Joan Jonas, after having been largely closed to the public for more than 100 years and after extensive revitalization works, which were finished in early 2020. Ocean Space operates an annual program, open to the public from spring to autumn

I stumbled upon San Lorenzo's Church on a Thursday morning during the summer in Venice to find an urgent call for action in the form of an exhibition. Moving Off the Land presented works by Joan Jonas. I still vividly remember the drawings of different types of sea creatures. I have learned so much about the protection of the ocean ecosystem in a gorgeous space in restoration. It's wonderful to see TBA21-Academy combining arts and science. I am very much looking forward to see it reopening with a new exhibition this summer.

Hidden next to a bridge on a side canal, the building of the Scuola houses some of the most beautiful paintings of the Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio (around 14651525/26 ) Three paintings he dedicated to the Saint George. The first from left shows him how he killing the dragon. In the second Saint George killed the beast at the gates of the city. The Tryphone´s miracle behind the altar represents the Saint Tryphon who free a princess´s daughter from the clutches of the Basilisk. The right wall of the hall is dedicated to the life of Saint Hieronymus.

Although this is the original church that Vivaldi would have known, it was certainly a great place to visit, with the great musicians music playing through speakers. Regularly a venue for concerts as well. Well worth a look.
