Un sottomarino verrà a salvarci tutti   It surfaces, it fluffs itself up, it pins back its ears, it talks to you, and it‘ll dive back down…   A FUTURAMA LAB Project Initiated by Rainer Prohaska   Happening during the opening of the 59th Biennale Arte   19. – 26. April 2022 • Venice • Italy   GUEST ARTISTS Carola Schmidt Benjamin Klug Stefan Schmitzer Florian Sorgo   During the opening of the 59th Biennale Arte the FUTURAMA LAB will construct and operate a hydrodynamic object on the initiative of the Austrian artist Rainer Prohaska.   The resulting SOTTOMARINO FEDERICA FELLINI will function as a conventional vessel, as a platform for the works by featured artists and as an impulse for communication with passers-by.   SOTTOMARINO FEDERICA FELLINI is a commentary on the boring gondolas and boats of the lagoon that drift silently, colourlessly and depressively through the canals. The initi- ative and the clumsy actions in the canals of the Venetian lagoon are supported by the Gibberish Dialogues 2022 to evoke a metaphorical strategy to save humanity. SOTTOMARINO FEDERICA FELLINI is a watercraft penned by Rainer Prohaska, an object-sample produced by means of ENDLESS TOYKIT COLLECTION – Vienna.
