The exhibition In Praise of Doubt offers a thematic presentation exploring the strength and weakness of the human condition, based on a selection of works from the François Pinault Foundation Collection.

Drawing on emblematic works from the 1960s – and right up to the most contempo- rary creations – the exhibition aims to pay homage to doubt in its most dynamic mani- festations; through its strength in challenging prejudices, conventions and certainties. The idea is to open up the field of possible questions in order to push back the limits each of us imposes, and to try and refocus our view of ourselves and the surrounding world.

The specific architectural nature of Punta della Dogana emphasises this proposition. Each artist is presented in a dedicated area, and yet each is open to the others, as a result of the transparent features and passageways of the building. The evolution as you move from one area to the next helps produce a novel confrontation between the various perspectives (radical, engaged, sensitive, unabashed, etc.)
