Artempo: Where Time Becomes Art was an encyclopedic art exhibition created for the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice in 2007. It examined the relationship between art and time, and the power of exhibition. The exhibition included variations of cultures and periods, and presented objects ranging from simple 'found objects', archaeological materials, applied arts, ancient, classical and modern art, to contemporary installations. The exhibition was curated by Mattijs Visser and Axel Vervoordt, in collaboration with Jean-Hubert Martin. Artempo was housed in the Venetian-Gothic Palazzo Fortuny, the former home, studio, exhibition hall and “Think-Tank” of Mariano Fortuny. Fortuny’s art extended to many areas, and he was also an eclectic art collector, as well as an organizer of conferences, concerts and discussions. Artempo was conceived in Fortuny’s spirit, using the Palazzo as a “laboratory of ideas” of diameters 85 and 105 cm respectively.
