The exhibition celebrated 35 successful years of bringing the practice of art and its study together in La Serenissima. It featured work and research by Pratt in Venice alumni, as well as current and former faculty, since its beginning in 1984 in all media – painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, fashion, photography, film, and animation – as well as a documentary film, Infinite Jest, documenting the pendant celebratory exhibition held in Venice in Summer 2019. A Study Center at the heart of the suite of galleries included the many books, articles, theses, and research posters produced as a result of participation in Pratt in Venice. Multiple photographs and testimonials by students, faculty, and friends, taken since the program’s beginning 35 years ago, were exhibited – both in print and via a Kodak slide carousel.
