The Wilmotte Foundation is a small gallery in northern Venice, at Corte Nuova in Cannaregio. Its exhibitions can focus on a single artist or subject; one programme explored South Korean artist Lee Bae’s work on the Moonhouse Burning ritual through screenings, installations and interactive pieces. The gallery is free to enter, and its quiet setting makes a gentle pause from busier routes. Check that it is open before setting out, as closures have occurred without advance notice.

The foundation’s programme can centre on one exhibition. A presentation devoted to South Korean artist Lee Bae explored the Moonhouse Burning ritual through screenings, installations and interactive works. Its themes included people’s ties to nature and folk traditions.
