Canada
UNCEDED: Voices of the Land is the Canadian pavilion at the Venice Biennale showcasing indigenous architecture by Douglas Cardinal Architect. The exhibition emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between indigenous designers and nature, promoting sustainability and respect for the earth. It highlights indigenous culture's teachings and ceremonies rooted in natural law, inspiring the audience to live in harmony with the planet and learn from indigenous Teachings.
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...
