(Damien Hirst and curator Elena Geuna in Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana.)
Discover the exhibition
‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’. It is the first major solo exhibition dedicated to Damien Hirst in Italy since the 2004 retrospective at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples (“The Agony and Ecstasy”) and is curated by Elena Geuna, curator of the monographic shows dedicated to Rudolf Stingel (2013) and Sigmar Polke (2016) presented at Palazzo Grassi.
The exhibition is displayed across 5,000 square meters of museum space and marks the first time that Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana, the two Venetian venues of the Pinault Collection, are both dedicated to a single artist.
Damien Hirst’s most ambitious and complex project to date, ‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’ has been almost ten years in the making. Exceptional in scale and scope, the exhibition tells the story of the ancient wreck of a vast ship, the ‘Unbelievable’ (Apistos in the original Koine Greek), and presents what was discovered of its precious cargo: the impressive collection of Aulus Calidius Amotan - a freed slave better known as Cif Amotan II - which was destined for a temple dedicated to the sun.

‘Treasures from the wreck of the unbelievable’ is one of the most brilliant art happenings of the XX and XXI century. Not just the extraordinary beauty of some of those pieces but the entire story that surrounds and supports those pieces. I feel so sorry for all of those people who cannot see how genius the entire project was. It must be awful not having the capacity to imagine, or a sense of humour or the intelligence to let yourself be fooled for a moment by a wonderful story.
if it is so brilliant, what is it about then?
It's extraordinary! I've watched the Netflix documentary several times, the first time believing, and the again to try to understand the complexity of this amazing presentation. ❤️
@@rootzero what is the documentary that you refer to called? thanks
I was on set
@@vincent5699 how is that relevant to my comment?
I believed this was all real till i got to the end of the "documentary" and seen mickey mouse statue standing next to a guy in a suit. Never been so betrayed
Or the fact that "Sif" is obviously a lifecast of the artist....
Nick Bower no idea what sif is so yeah
You couldn't have put it better "never been so betrayed"!! OMG I feel so TROLLED!! lol
Owl And Crow glad im not the only one
.......through most of the movie I was absolutely enthralled. I kept thinking "how have I not heard about these discoveries?"
The Mickey Mouse at the end caught me as perhaps being just a funny sculpture to showcase with these amazing treasures that were found. I also thought it was very odd that the statues were being showcased with the coral and barnacles still on them (the coral would obviously die, so I found it very strange that they would go through so much trouble to recreate the coral for the display). I began looking into this shipwreck, only to find that this was all a fake......fuck.
I do applaud the acting...most of it did NOT seem scripted...only at a few moments did I think "this might be scripted..."
Anyway...My wife and I were trolled hard. Bastard.....
Absolutely Love everything about The Treasures Exhibition. The Scale and Dedication to Story and Craft is remarkable. Outstanding in every way. My New Found Favorite Modern Day Artist.
Good synthesis, I totally agree btw
Yea wouldn’t it be great if he actually made the art?
@@Megforest1 The contemporary artist is an ideator, a thinker, he is not limited to being a skilled executor.
Best bullshit I've ever seen. Perfect art.
Glen McLean ,,,yep e Mickey mouse at the end. Blew my mind
How insulting, as intended, no doubt.
REPLY
If you cannot realise how incredibly brilliant the idea is and you do not allow yourself to be amazed by the sheer beauty of the pieces and you beat yourself up for ‘having believed’ you really have a problem. It’s called suspension of disbelief. Just enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the story and the artworks. Allow yourself the wonder of believing.
Bedankt damien voor deze geweldige tentoonstelling over hoe verkloot je je examen
Eens
People feel betrayed when they watch it on Netflix but try to remember Damien hirst is an artist first and foremost and this is an art show.he provided and amazing story to go with his art and he hd a lot of us believing.i love it all.well done
Man I went around telling people about this awesome documentary and how it was totally real.
If there’s any comeback of this I’ll just say I was kidding and accuse them of not understanding sarcasm
and me also telling watch these amazing artifact so old but i thouht micky mouse was the giverway!! but even i was fooled 😮
I just love this whole thing how absolutely brilliant
I love it all the story the works the diving the recovery ,Hirst is a fine artist and a fine entertainer
Lol, I just now realized that Chief Amotan's depiction was actually Damien, only by seeing them side by side :)) I love how he smirks and says "Handsome devil"
Subtle
I am checking this guy out because people are calling him a hack but I enjoyed these works. I think people get jealous.
joe BONES what about the Mickey mouse hahaha
Nothing to be jealous of. I'm pissed. I sat down and watched a man $65 million dollar tribute to his own vanity for 90 minutes. Only to find out at the end that it's all fake. It's like buying a ps4, driving all the way home, and as soon as you get home and open it, it turns out to be a VCR.
Money buys you anything and any dream you want.
I loved watching that!
Beautifull!
I would give anything to see this museum!!!!
Amazing for sure.
Wished I got to see this exhibition.
I wowed the whole movie just got a few moment of why they didn’t mention to search the wreck of the boat itself. After the movie I searched where I can visit the exhibition and found out it is a fake story! What a fun genius!
I just finished watching the Netflix presentation. They should've waited till April 1st. Loved it though. If I was embarrassingly rich I'd like to buy a few of these.
OMG this was AMAZING! 💝💖
I loved so much watching this on Netflix and in the end could not believe what I was seing. But what a ride. It still was woth it so much I watch it again but with a different mind set of course!
Hallo westerse progressieve kunstliefhebbers uit 2022
Toch wel mooi dat we ons Nederlands cijfer opgeofferd hebben voor wat nep plantjes op beelden
Congratulations!
these look great, better than his other works
my friend went to college for marine archeology, I suggested this "documentary" while watching it to give him hope... lol.. I definitely feel really let down
Don't feel so down lol. I honestly thought it was real even after seeing the buried Mickey. I thought that he was just showing footage of other under sea sculptures and that Mickey sculpture was somehow lost at sea on a production boat in the mid 20th century or something. Boy I feel dumb.
*Kagarin* Don't, you were being thoughtful, that gesture has not changed.
quite the opposite. you'll instill a sense of reality in him that: all that glitters is not gold and question all motives
I was so angry when I finished the documentary (and saw Mickey). I then tried to analyze my anger, and I discovered this: I wasn't angry with the documentary for duping me, I was angry with _myself_ for being duped. After further thought, I'm glad I was tricked because the ride was exciting, and I learned to always check sources!! Haha!
me also thought amazing but why is mickymouse there maybe romans met walt disney😅😅😅 the artist turn bullshitartist
@@peterblackburn7269 Yeah! It was crazy feeling like, "Holy crap... I was totally fooled by a bullshit artist!"
I love this docs...
Don't usually like Hirst, but loved this.
I was impressed by the background work of it...how he let others create these thing...and then submerge everything for TEN years...it's just insane that it worked. If I were him I wouldn't paint the corals and stuff in colors, only with fitting metal paint, like that on the huge statue...but then they could have added everything manually, hehe. Great project nevertheless!
Watching the mockumentary definitely had me fooled completely, which was great because it was a fabulous journey for me. That I've seen an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi years ago that was complete shit and to me, an insult to that beautiful palazzo, this was amazing. I only learned it was fake when I googled the schedule for the "treasures" exhibition and saw it was all staged. But truly, a genius work of art he spent a lot of money on to get people THINKING. It is all very engaging, and that is the purpose of art.
For that he should of rated it Fiction. This was all bullshit. Gold doesn't look the way it did, especially 2 centuries in the ocean. A slave that was freed couldn't come up with the money to buy all that junk let alone a ship as big as they claimed it to be. Even if there was a power Ball lottery back then,
Howard Carter must of rolled in his grave , watching this once upon a time fraudulent garbage .
PS I forgive Mikey mouse, it's not his fault. He's innocent in all this.
was one of the best art shows i've seen in a long time!!!
LOVED IT!!!
Now I'm tempted to go - I've been thinking backwards and forward for the last few weeks.
Can you see this in one day? As I'd need to fly if I'm seeing this!
YES! you can seeit in one day. Two galleries not far from each other. Just go and seei it!
Bought my flight and ticket I'll be there on the 23rd! Thanks Juan
Make sure you take home the book... it seems i work for Damian Hirst :-))
Saw it - loved it!!!! I'm getting the book later on Amazon :) - I'll tell Damien that you are his best sales person EVER!
The work is interesting to look at. A gorgeous selection of materials. Sadly; simply glimpsing the texture of coral makes me break out in hives. I am itching all over right now. Does anyone else experience this kind of reaction to rough textures, like tree bark and coral?
These coral covered sculptures remind me of cordyceps in The Last of Us game.
I would love to see this exhibit.
La mostra più bella che io abbia mai visto
I think this was brilliant. Because I couldn't 100% tell what was real and what was not right until the end. The made in China stamp made me wonder but still was intrigued. Hate him but this was just brilliant.
Where did it say made in China?
It's been 4 years, definitely on one of the pieces.
@@formulajuan_it's on the back of some pieces
Awe inspiring. Thank you 👍
awinspiring bullshit !!!
Me too! There were a couple of moments I questioned the film but it really took the Mickey Mouse and the guy in the suit to seal the deal.
About halfway thru, something was very suspicious about this. I couldn't put my finger on it. Then, when the medusa head came up I was like, that is too perfect, that is too close too the look of medusa from Clash of the Titans. I immediate had to investigate. Sure enough....
Absolutely amazing documentary, and amazingly brilliant artist. Sad that so many just don't get it.
It's all pure bullshit and garbage. Netflix should be embarrassed showing a fake staged discovery of a Mickey mouse statue full of artificial coral. Hirst is a narcissisti . Calling a tripiphobia trigger art.
If you wanna see a real shipwreck discovery watch documentaries on the Atocha. A spaniard ship loaded with tons of silver,Gold, Pearl's, ,emeralds. Gold Inca artifacts. The Fisher family discovered The mother load of shipwreck treasure off Florida keys. Estimated value in the 80s 400 million. Probably in the billions today.
I truly love the story I love your imagination Lillys cafe Believes ❤
Usually love Hirst but this looks brutal. Lacking in intrinsic beauty or depth.
Wait, these are all made for the show right? It sounds like he's implying some of these were actually under the sea and from long ago.
Documentary > Sunken Treasure > Fuck me. I watched it. It is unbelievable. Swallowed that shit, hook, line and sinker.
Yeah man I believe the oceans home to a load of old cods!!!!!!! Nice to to see some beautiful pieces though.... 😁👍
Kitsch for a big aquarium.
Every now and then I find a video and I'm like "only 43k views???" wtf
Lmao when I saw those praying hands I was like WTF something is off lol then I did some research and I was like yup a fucken mickey
I was all excited and was about to go back to school for ❗️Archaeology❗️
So, wait . . . . . the shipwreck was not real? It was all planted there by this guy?
Not planted - just planned. It was all a fake documentary. BUT ... the artist spent 10 years making 3 versions of every sculpture and something like $65M on the movie/story. So he created an art exhibit and a backstory for it. That's a grand scale creation for an art exhibit.
Yes and he sculpted/crafted all corals and things... Unbelievable
Lol reading at the comments, how can anybody believe for a second that's ancient art.
So I just finished watching the Netflix documentary and I'm unsure what to think. It took me on an emotional roller coaster ride, I was excited, shocked, intrigued and then they showed the Mickey mouse statue without any explianation and now I'm just confused.
It's all fake. The story of it all being discovered after a shipwreck is part of his 'art'
Its a mockumentary. Part of its point is to show how easily we are willing to believe in something just because some people in a documentary makes it look convincing. The entire movie was full of hints suggesting it was fake. For example Gold cannot survive under water for 2000 years, its soft metal which also reacts to the water. The same as all the statues which had limbs but were missing heads all of the limbs would have been broken of during 2000 years of oceanic exposure.
@@TheFenderBass1 Gold absolutely can survive under water for 2000 years. Ever heard of gold panning?
My mind really wanted to wrap around the richness of the culture & lifestyle of that era. Like wow, genius,such brilliant minds, just to find out today, it was staged. Urgh, why Damien,why?
When he says "that's Cif Amotan", but that's clearly a statue of himself, why the hell didnt she say anything? Is she blind or playing along or what?
ma è proprio questa la premessa: farci credere in una favola
Look this is a wreck from The Unbelievable simply because the last sculpture they shared was freaking Mickey Mouse come on was it true or not I'll never know for sure
say I Recently came across two old reconstructed maps maps jerusalem one shows the location of the royal burial grounds and the palace of david this map the depth and the hight of the valleys this is the old map I HAVE a newer map that that doesnt show these locations but shows how the city has changed the location the front door to the palace has been walled off by temple mound but the back door of this tomb is buried and legal to excavate and no one has been excavating in the right location because I Just recent compared these maps to all the dig sites in jerusalem and I KNOW temple mound is off limits I Was recently gifted these maps and theirs about over a dozen dead people give or take that that believedthis is the most accurate maps on record of those times king solomon married an egyption wife witch makes sense that these tombs would be so hard to find in the first place i have never been to jerusalem but from the treasures that were found at sea and solomons betrothed and betrayal to god because he indeed also favored the old gods to have the pharo as his allie solomon also killed his older brother and took advantage of his sick father he I Believe was born out of wedlock and wasnt the true heir to davids throne anyway this information that I have wont be given away freely If you want to contact me email me at jamesfuni05@gmail.com
Art of the Anunnaki
Plot Twist: The film was taken from the future.
0:24
So basically, we didn't destroy the planet, or at least it was able to regenerate and future peoples are as bad as we are at ascribing meaning to ancient "artifacts" that may or may not have been intended. Hundreds of years from now, would people not ascribe all kinds of significance to Mickey Mouse, considering how many millions of times his image has been and is still being reproduced? I find the whole thing quite delightful and the sculptures are beautiful. I'd buy a cheap replica in the gift shop. Actually, I'd probably buy several to give as souvenir gifts. Were there any Star Wars artifacts? My son would love a BB-8. He IS from "A long time ago" after all.
Art people are mad lol.
Incredible I believe there is a GOD ALMIGHTY all the myths have been blown out of the water with this find was Damien Hirst destiny and the poeple with him to find that lot my bucket is to see this exacerbation wow if this was a lie I fell for it hook line and sinker I still enjoyed watching haha.....
I started watching this on Netflix thinking it was along the lines of a PBS doc. Quickly became suspicious when every member of his “crew” looked like they were from central casting. I didn’t get past the 7 minute mark before switching to something else. Waste of time.
An Eclectic mix of lies in Art
Senses of wonderment then in farce
fictitious tale modern world awash
Above all else everyone its marsh
This documentary so brilliantly told
eyes wide open no more in mold
an artist born from shapes so coarse
wonderful vision like a Trojan horse
Is this for real or nahhh...
Why In hell was this not mentioned at the beginning of the "documentary". What a load of cow shit. This documentary moved me. I was so amazed, it was such a great story and now I feel like a fucking idiot for believing it
brilliant artist incredible mocka inspires the shit out of me just brilliant
At 3:30 looks exactly like Rihanna its creepy
Looks like I saved 1hr and 22mins of my life, now I gotta tell a mate be was betrayed
Do you believe the earth is flat?
Great art but to modern. The Romans did not do eyeliner.
I do not get it? It is not a real story? If so me too never been so betrayed!!! If bullshit, it is the best one though AH!
Come on! All these people believing this!!!!? How can one not see the con? Its Hirst!
He can’t do any of those pieces, they maiden for hem
You know his Sharks don' t you 🤓
Wow, this is horrible. Its complete kitsch. Donder it terug into the sea!
His career must have suffered a scheepsbreuk volgens The Times!!
Damien on his memer shit ahaha
If any one can't see this all take the piss Ha ! come on please.
The MICKEY MOUSE TO F FUNNY
I bet you even the village people from the beach are mad as hell to know this was a fake !
Thought it was real up until I freaked out behind the Nefertiti statue looking like a black person and thinking “I KNEW IT!!!” Then thinking that looks a lot like Rihanna. Then realizing that it was just Rihanna and this whole thing was fiction. I was really sucked in like it was an actual discovery. I was almost jealous. Damn. It would of nice if this was real though.
i have so many questions, anyone here know anything more.
i got tricked and i'm glad for it, that mickey mouse gave it away.
i just wanna know if that's real coral on the statues, if they are really made of stone and gold.
Heel gaaf
So this is what Damien Hirst has been up to? 🙄
I hated the fact that this is all fake. Buuuut - where can I buy something like these statues? I want something that looks like it has been under water for years
f me . fake news ? nick dose and his art to should be in question
I dream of Baia every night.
I have seen the full documentary on Netflix and it is amazing. I do wonder though when the Egyptians are going to demand that they get those statues of the Egyptian Pharaohs back as they will claim them is they are real. And they will endeavour to find out which Pharaohs they represent.
I must correct the 2nd last sentence. I do wonder though when the Egyptians are going to demand that they get those statues of the Egyptian Pharaohs back as they will claim them if they are real.
If the Egyptians do not claim these artifacts back it will be a real challenge to the artifacts authenticity.
*Lamees Ahmad* Ummm... it's all a joke, they aren't real.
Hi Harlow, Yup you are right. I have done some research into this and I have also found out that they are fake. But I must say they are beautiful. Amazing that Damien craved attention so much that he did this. Sad that he stamped his mark and got so much attention in copying others talent. Shew!!!
Hi *Lamees Ahmad*
You are right, they really all are quite beautiful aren't they?
Damien has done this with much of his art. When we think of artists in general we think of solitary painters. I also took a little exception years ago when I learned that Damien utilizes a team of artists and then gets the credit. But in time I have come to look at him as more of an architect, much like the architect for a building, he designs them but others build them in his vision. When seen this way, in a different light with a different perspective, I can really appreciate his work.
I have to be truthful, out of all of his work, this is actually my favourite.
Damien is an interesting man, he and I both collect ethical taxidermy from Darin, Sinke & van Tongeren. Though his collection far exceeds my own!
I like your perspective Harlow. I have a very open mind as far as Art is concerned. I enjoy works from Rimsky Korsakov to Air Supply, Imhotep to Alexander Yusuf, Leonardo da Vinci to Pablo Picasso, Carl Akeley to James Rowland Ward. I am however a bit biased about literature and do prefer the more classical genre as I consider them true art and I cannot tolerate the butchering of language which seems to frequently occur in modern works. I must say you have described Damien's work in a way which I can savour and appreciate.
Best Wishes
Would be cooler if Damien actually made any of this. But I guess thinking of it and paying for it and erasing the actual artists to who created these to nothing is fine. Sigh. I’d respect this more if he was straight up and recognized his “fabricators” who are the ones who have technical skill.
as a treasure hunter of 40 years, what a let down. I was wondering all along how a treasure of this magnitude be discovered and I never heard of it. after waisting over an hour of my life watching this fraud. at the end it only shows the only way Hirst can get a crowd to his exibit is to disguise it as a great discovery.
The point of the mockumentary was also to see how easily it would be to fool people. There were small hints along the entire film to suggest all of it was fake. And the further in you get the more ridiculous everything gets. Its a great piece of cinematic art, and it carries a message. Something is only real if we believe it to be.
In an age where fake news is everywhere its important to know just how easily we are willing to bellieve in something.
I can’t believe Netflix showed this fake documentary, I was duped!
so was I 5 months later - ffs! - go find a real wreck Hirst!
Precies ,net waar je in geloof,ik zou niet weten wat je met zoiets moet ,wat een stofvangers,moet er niet aan denken zoiets in huis te hebben 😂
The 'art' of FAKE "documentary" as filmed in my tropical fish tank! An Oscar for deception and to Netflix, you should be ashamed of yourselves for marketing this as a "documentary" 😡 At the end Mickey Mouse! He gets best supporting actor. Betrayal at its best. A 'movie' at its most magnificent. Netflix, you owe me! I don't appreciate being lied to!!
them swimming up with massive supposedly gold statues and lifting them up on deck with no effort sealed the deal for me....FAKE
much better art can be made with way less than $10 million.. in fact, better art can be made with only $1000 .. there are better metaphors in death and immortality in graffiti in the street.
I'm so disappointed! I want my hour and 22 minutes back!!!
GEt a stinking Life....
I do not see the point of going that far making people belive It was a real finding. At the end of the film all the previous fun and joy just vanished leaving me a bitter sensation inside. What a waste!
Shit
