Artist Giorgio Andreotta Calò is presenting his project "Lacuna" at the Ocean Space Center in Venice (Campo San Lorenzo).
He walked all around the Venetian Lagoon in order to understand the balance between Venice and its environmental surroundings. Is the Lagoon an extention of Venice? Or is it Venice that has to be considered as a small part of the Lagoon?

Lely's plan (1889) to turn the Zuiderzee - a salty sea - into a lake and new land. Florike Egmond shows this as an example of the modern Dutch belief in "maakbaarheid", a belief in makeability and malleability. A vision showcased in the qoute: "God made the world, and the Dutch made the Netherlands."
A version of this plan was completed, and today the Zuiderzee no longer exists. In its place there is the sweet water IJsselmeer, and a new province. This project was a direct result of a major flooding, just like the more well-known Delta works. Something few Dutch people know. - Benjamin

A sea map from Adriaan Coenen's Visboek (Fish book) from 1577-1581. Florike Egmond shared this map to show a historical example of a Dutch perception of the sea. Coenen's maps focus on the water, and the land is shown in the margins. The sea connected the lands.
Coenen's work predated the Dutch belief in makeability. The sea here is a manifestation of God's will. Both in its abundance and its dangers. Coenen therefore meticulously investigated and recorded its events. Especially the wonderous, like whale migrations and beached squid.

Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Untitled, 2010.
Giorgio is telling us about his work in the Netherlands. Here there exists an artificial perception. In contrast to Venice, where the water spills into the streets.
Giorgio submerged part of his studio into 1.8m water, a depth calculated to be at true sea level. The result shows a almost Flemish oil painted window. But the day after the opening the window cracked and created a real flood. The work crossed the boundary of representation. - Benjamin
