Venice/Italy (2017) – In times like these, when the daily amount of information we consume
leads to brain numbness, ART somehow is still able to reach us. And with that every information transported with it. The internationally renowned Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn, son of the famous Mexican-American actor Anthony Quinn († 2001), used his newest monumental sculpture "SUPPORT" to do just that. He used his amazing installation to transport a very powerful message concerning climate change. Lorenzo Quinn created in the Italian city Venice a visual statement – two giant hands rising out of the water of the Grand Canal and supporting the famous, traditional and exclusive Venetian hotel "Ca' Segrado" – demonstrating the horrible impact rising sea levels have on cities like the famous Italian lagoon city. Since Venice catches a lot of attention with the "Biennale 2017", Quinn's messages to the world might be even heard: "The two hands
symbolize tools that can both destroy the world, but also have the capacity to save it."
