The Museum of Everything unveiled an installation of fifty paintings by one of the most important self-taught Italian artists of the 20th century: Carlo Zinelli (1916–1974), born 100 km from Venice.

During his lifetime, Zinelli’s visual autobiography was celebrated by Jean Dubuffet, André Breton and Dino Buzzati, yet these rarely seen gouaches were created in the studio of a local hospital, where the artist lived after returning from the Spanish Civil War with shell-shock.

The Museum of Everything’s Zinelli retrospective is not simply about the rediscovery of an essential modern artist - it is about notions of otherness
in the history of art, about what art is and who an artist can be.

The Museum of Everything also had invited all to participate in the self-taught revolution at The Salon of Everything: a free-form rolling conversation with leading artists, curators, writers and thinkers. The Salon of Everything finished on 28th June, it was every afternoon at Il Palazzo di Everything and was documented in conjunction with the BBC.

At Serra dei Giardini, in between the Giardini and Arsenale, people can still find The Café of Everything - the only happening bar and eaterie close to the Giardini.
