Albania
Beyond Entropy Europe pavilion focuses on diffused urbanization and the crisis of the city-countryside limit in European territories, with Tirana as a case study. The pavilion explores how modern architecture in Albania is inhabited, transformed, rejected, modified, and absorbed through artistic narratives. The artworks reveal new models of inhabiting residual urban spaces as possible spaces for a new monumentality. The pavilion is articulated in two parts: the series of paintings entitled Penthouse by Edi Hila and the screening of The Column by Adrian Paci.
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...
Latvia's participation in the Biennale Architettura 2023 is organized and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia.
