- Conceived as part of slovenian artist Tobias Putrih's project Venetian, Atmospheric , the movie theatre built in the garden on the Island of San Servolo (Venice, Italy) will function "both as an architectural project and a sculpture, a viewing machine meant to create and encourage perceptual illusions".

Specially worthy of notice is the John Smith retrospective with the screening of his works Associations (1975), The Girl Chewing Gum (1976), Om (1986), The Black Tower (1985-7), Gargantuan (1992) and Regression (1998-9).
