Biennial of Architecture of Venice - Italian Pavilion
Festivals, Italy, Ravenna, Faenza, 26 August 2010
The 12th Biennial of Architecture of Venice, directed by the architect Kazuyo Sejima, has just opened. The international exhibition entitled “People meet in architecture” includes a course that goes from the Giardini to the Arsenale presenting 48 among ateliers, architects, engineers and artist from all over the world. "This show – explains the director – will be a chance to experience the manifold possibilities of architecture, as well as to account for its plurality of approaches, each one of them being a different way of living".
The Biennale presents over 45 national partecipations, over than a programme full of initiatives and fringe events, such as the Hans-Ulrich Obrist’s interviews series entitled Now Interviews.
For this edition, the Italian Pavilion proposes the exhibition AILATI. Riflessi dal futuro (AILATI. Reflections from the future) conceived by Luca Molinari, who, during the 3rd edition of the festival of Contemporary art, anticipated its themes and contents in a talk with the light-designer Mario Nanni and the architects Roberta Bandini and Gabriele Lelli. Divided in ten thematic areas, AILATI, means to be an assessment of the past ten years of Italian architecture, but also to put on the stage the “hot” subjects of tomorrow in this discipline, by means of the works of our history’s great masters who, nowadays, represent our country.
Among them Lelli Associati architettura/Cristofani & Lelli architetti, curators of the sets for the festival of Contemporary art since its first edition, will present the Residenze "Fornace del Bersaglio" of Faenza. Mario Nanni curates the light design of the Italian Pavilion confronting his experience with Luca Molinari and the designers Francesco Librizzi and Salotto Buono to get the right light for the temporal and spatial tale of AILATI.
Mario Nanni, creator of "padiglione Via...ggiando" (a mobile pavilion with which the festival in partnership with Viabizzuno began in 2009 the Via...ggiando tour visiting the contemporary art European capitals),has indentified in the point, the line, the pattern and the space the basics of light in his project; these elements scan the space and tell it, becoming narrative and comunicative.
