Kuwait
The 2014 Kuwait Pavilion focuses on the formation of the state through commissioned architectural works and investigates the impact of modernization on the nation's history. The pavilion focuses on the Kuwait National Museum and the projects commissioned to function primarily as symbols of progress. The exhibition aims to generate meaning and restore a sense of ownership and responsibility over Kuwait's built environment. The exhibition is artist-curated and researcher-informed and includes various components, including a joint installation with the Nordic Pavilion and a film being produced inside the Kuwait Pavilion.
Supermarket sweep… the Latvian pavilion which has been transformed into a minimart.
This contribution brings a little levity to the long trek through the halls of the Arsenale.

Welcome to T/C Latvija, surely the most instagrammed installation of this edition of the Biennale
Latvia is reopening the archive boxes once again, reminding us (including the Biennial Presidency) of everything that has already been thought up and invented, and inviting us to place the most urgently needed products in the basket, to combine them with one another, and ultimately consume all the knowledge.
Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
Latvia's participation in the Biennale Architettura 2023 is organized and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia.
