Ideas, islands & impact: the Berggruen Institute lands in Venice

We sit down with Lorenzo Marsili, philosopher, writer and founding director of Berggruen Institute Europe, inside Casa dei Tre Oci, the 1911 artist's studio on the Giudecca that now serves as the Institute's European home.Marsili explains why a global think tank founded in Los Angeles chose Venice over Berlin, Paris or Rome, and how three Venetian buildings have quietly become a gathering place for some of the most provocative minds of our time, from Carlo Rovelli and Giorgio Agamben to Slavoj Žižek and Peter Sloterdijk.From a Joseph Kosuth solo show at Casa dei Tre Oci to a Hans Ulrich Obrist exhibition on protocol art at Palazzo Diedo, this is the story of a city that has always traded in ideas, and the next chapter being written from a window on the Giudecca.
