Peru
The Amazon rainforest is vital for biodiversity, oxygen production, and regulating the planet's climate. The Peruvian Pavilion proposes the "Selva Plan" to rebuild schools in the Amazon and promote indigenous knowledge for sustainable development. The exhibit aims to create a meeting space between two seemingly conflicting worlds and highlights the need to conserve the fragile balance of the rainforest.
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.
Choice as the basis of architectural process, the pop aesthetics emphasizing the languages of consumption as in Hamilton or Warhol: everything is structured by the dynamics of commerce.
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...
