This is the major contemporary art exhibition of the 2025 Biennale of Arts and the Ocean. This summer, Villa Arson brings together more than 20 international artists on the theme of saltwater bodies and their biodiversity. An exhibition with immersive scenography spread over 800 m² and co-produced by two foundations: Tara Ocean and TBA21. In this poetic and committed journey, we encounter photographs, installations, and projections, between blue-painted walls and large Murano pearls.

Until August 24, 2025, open every day except Tuesday, from 14 p.m. to 19 p.m. in July and August.
