BOTTLING TRUST: do you trust me?

Inspired by The Bottle Of Trust – The Venice Glass Week 2023
9th-17th September 2023
Vernissage: 9th September 2023, h. 17.00
Franco Schiavon Gallery, Fondamenta dei Vetrai 26, 30141, Murano

The Bottle of Trust is an object designed to be given away by the Municipality of Umeå, in the North of Sweden.  Studies have revealed that Umeå stands out as a remarkable exemplar of trust, both in terms of its residents' profound mutual reliance and their unwavering confidence in institutions. This city has emerged as a global epitome of trustworthiness, fostering an environment where the connection among citizens is exceptional, and faith in various establishments remains steadfast.

The Bottle of Trust has been designed by Jeroen Peeters, Ambra Trotto and Maria Claudia Coppola at RISE - Research Institutes of Sweden. One piece has been donated to the Swedish Minister of Culture; the other existing piece is on a European tour and will be shown in Eindhoven during the Dutch Design Week 2023 and in Murano during the Venice Glass Week 2023: the installation, named Bottling Trust, will be open to public at the Franco Schiavon Gallery, 9th-17th September 2023.

Trust is a peculiar thing, the more you give it away, the more you receive. Bottling Trust invites the receiver to pass it on, with a secret inside, multiplying trust along the way. In Murano, visitors will be invited to engage in an installation that exemplifies and unpacks the notion of trust. Experiencing trust, daring to trust, being seduced into trusting: could this be the best way to deal with nowadays uncertainties and fragilities?  Could this lead to becoming able to respond together, humbly, and collaboratively, to nowadays global challenges? Sharing responsibilities, through beauty and engagement could be the solution?
