I was privileged to experience this year’s architecture biennale in venice titled: intelligens. natural. artificial. collective. Although the whole exhibition was strikingly beautiful, there were some pavilions I would like to expand on.
Denmark: Build of Site: an absolute stunning exploration of reusing surplus material. Term “local” is being pushed to its boundaries by making plethora of different building elements from what conventionally is seen as “waste”.
Serbia: Unraveling: New Spaces: is singular, enormous knitted structure. Ideologically, sculpture connects the art of knitting and world’s first artificial-bionic hand (Belgrade Hand, 1963), as metaphor of influence of individual on mass advancement.
Poland: Lary i Penaty: exhibition (from my home country) is dedicated to exploration of how security was perceived in the past vs how is it understood now. Resulting in juxtaposition of polish mythological/religious symbols and the present-day ones coming mostly from legal regulations, putting in question the essence of safety.
