ECAL is the guest institution for the 2021 edition of "Grand Tour", the annual event organized by Palazzo Grassi - Punta della Dogana in Venice.
As part of the Palazzo Grassi Fall exhibition activities focused on the languages of performance, video art and photography, ECAL confronts scholars and the public of the Venetian universities on some ongoing research projects of the Swiss school, related to the reflection on video art between the 1960s and 1980s, the representation of the forms of youth in the visual arts and the relationship between text and image in Concrete poetry.
