"Venice welcomed the unveiling of TCollection's remarkable new exhibition titled “I’m Not Afraid of Ghosts,”. This inaugural event took place at Palazzo Tiepolo Passi on April 16. The exhibit features a diverse array of works from 33 contemporary artists who explored themes of bodily expression, liberation, and historical continuity. Notable artists such as Marlene Dumas, Tracey Emin, Jenny Holzer, and Issy Wood highlighted the collection’s focus on contemporary narratives and female perspectives.
Curated by Svetlana Marich and Sarah McCrory, this event marks a significant debut for the TCollection, founded by entrepreneur and art enthusiast Tatiana Fileva. The exhibition, open until September 22, 2024, invites visitors to engage deeply with the ongoing conversation between historical art forms and current social challenges."

"The intriguing and magical presentation includes paintings, sound installation, photography and sculpture by contemporary artists addressing these relating to the body, liberation, and reflections on past experiences, combined with the desire to confront ghosts of history and move forward on a new path. A line-up of predominantly female artists includes Marlene Dumas, Tracey Emin, Jenny Holzer, Issy Wood, Shadi Al-Atallah, Cecily Brown, Heidi Bucher, Anne Collier, Marlene Dumas, William Eggleston, Jadé Fadojutimi, Sanya Kantarovsky, Simone Leigh, Sarah Lucas, Sally Mann and Christina Quarles.
Highlights include Jenny Holzer’s engraved marble bench with the words “In a dream you saw a way to survive, and you were full of joy”, which sets the tone for the exhibition, surreal paintings by Ewa Juszkiewicz and Dominique Fung, and an evocative Cecily Brown painting. A haunting soundscape produced by Oliver Leith and titled Old House lends a delicately immersive feeling to the exhibition, uniting the various art forms with the historic location with a sonic dimension.”
