illy and "La Biennale di Venezia"

illy took its longstanding involvement in the arts to a level deeper in 2003, when it partnered with the Venice La Biennale, one of the world’s preeminent cultural events.  illy has participated in every Biennale since, with increasingly thought-provoking exhibitions, often in the form of visually striking spaces that stimulate the mind, while providing an  illymind space to relax and reflect.  A respite not unlike that of a beautiful coffee moment.

Each Biennale’s illymind space is created in collaboration with renowned artists, designers and other cultural forces, each in tune with the atmosphere it populates.

2019

In a series of event dinners held with Guide MICHELIN in the framework of the Le Bombarde Arsenale restaurant during the six months of the exhibition, the creative dialogue between an artist selected by the 2019 Biennale curator Ralph will be staged from time to time. Rugoff is a Michelin-starred chef. The chef and the artist will give life to a unique experience.

2017 Biennale di Venezia alien espresso cup
2017

Robert Wilson  has designed at the Magazzini del Sale in Venice: “the dish ran away with the spoon everything you can think of is true”, an installation inspired by the collections of coffee cups, in which images, lights and sounds mark a pathway which winds its way through various landscapes inhabited by objects and sculptures.

Mostra fotografica illy alla Biennale di Venezia
2015

illy presented the Sebastião Salgadophotography exhibition "Scent of a Dream", a photographic journey through coffee growing countries, beginning in 2002 and ending in 2015 in Venice.

2013

illy has chosen to characterize its presence at the 55th International Art Exhibition with the central role of coffeeculture. In the under two years between now and the opening of EXPO 2015 in Milan, illy, which was chosen by the Organizing Committee as CoffeeCluster curator for the themed pavilion dedicated to coffee, will create a bridge between the Venice festival and the universal exhibition, thus making coffee the official drink of artistic thought.

Esposizione illy alla Biennale di Venezia
2011

It was a year of collaboration with Anish Kapoor. Picture a vortex of white smoke emitted from a circular base at the intersection of the transept and nave of the majestic Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. Ascension was the name of the site-specific installation created by the artist and included among the collateral events of the 54th Venice Biennale. To mark the occasion,  the limited edition illy Art Collectionof the same name was presented publicly.

Arte contemporanea targata illy alla Biennale di Venezia
2009

Daniel Birnbaum curates an illymindproject inspired by the theme Making Worlds, as illy introduces an illy Art Collection designed by Tobias Rehberger, the artist who designed the festival’s new bar and restaurant space in Biennale Gardens. His theme is camouflage: espresso cups literally seem to disappear inside the bar. In partnership with the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation, illy promotes Anton’s Memory, an exhibition dedicated Yoko Ono, winner of the festival’s 2009 Golden Lion award for Lifetime Achievement.

Casa compatta del futuro illy alla Biennale di Venezia
2007

The illy SustainArt program contributes Push Button House, an illymind project from cutting edge artist-architect Adam Kalkin that challenges us to consider more sustainable living environments.  At the touch of a button, a shipping container opens like a flower to reveal a fully furnished space – kitchen, living room, bedroom and more. The exhibition's theme is Think with the Senses - Feel with the Mind, complemented by a companion issue of illywords.

Modellini di design illymind alla mostra Biennale di Venezia
2006

illymind debuts as partner at the International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice La Biennale.  Created to suit the festival’s overall theme, City, this illymind project has a direct webcam connection to Mantua, where illy is simultaneously participating in Festivaletteratura, a major literature event.  Two cities, two important cultural happenings, one stimulating idea.

Sedia di design illy alla mostra Biennale di Venezia
2005

illymind considers the question of restoring and reflecting throughout the sprawling Venice La Biennale. The result: the creation of 1,500 illychairs, completely portable with a shoulder strap and writing space. So the entire Biennale became an illymind space. A companion, dedicated illymind space from the American designer Andrea Blum, Gardens & Fountains, provides a beautiful and stimulating backdrop for social interaction.

2003

Dreams and Conflicts: The Dictatorship of the Viewer. Created in 500 square meters spread across three distinct spaces, the inaugural illymind project is created with the help of Artemis and Moroso.  There is also research undertaken in collboratiion with the University Ca 'Foscari themed The ideal paradigm of the exhibition.
