Exhibition
Autotelic Foundation presents RAGE BAIT, an exhibition of new works by Eva & Franco Mattes, curated by Nadim Samman and Luisa Haustein. Staged across two iconic venues in Venice, RAGE BAIT will be on view at the Palazzo Franchetti overlooking the Grand Canal, and Le Cabanon.
The exhibition title is derived from the internet slang term ‘rage bait’: content engineered to provoke outrage, hijack attention, or extract a visceral emotional response before reason can intervene. Spanning installation, video, and generative AI, the show explores how rage bait is the logical—often inevitable—endpoint of platforms optimised for user engagement.
5 – 31 May 2026: Le Cabanon, Campo del Santissimo Redentore 193/A
5 May – 30 June 2026: Palazzo Franchetti, Fondamenta Narisi 2847
