A Plan to Venice but Wenders is a two-year female
VENICE - The director Wim Wenders who signs a passionate and intimate documentary about his intriguing Rolex Learning Center opened last March at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, the Thai artist Fiona Tan in a video that tells its pioneering projects for the islands of the Seto Inland Sea in Japan, his "master" Toyo Ito (with whom he immediately after graduation worked for six years of enlightened strategic training) that passes between the designers 'historical', and a title / theme "People meet in Architecture", driving across the twelfth edition of the International Architecture Exhibition of Venice Biennale , starts from August 29 to November 21, vehemently that reveals his personal conception of contemporary architecture: that of the connective tissue spaces like theaters or osmosis, are able to encourage with natural relations between interior and exterior but also the dynamic and fluid communication between individuals.

First Lady Kazuyo Sejima. And 'perhaps the first time that a Biennale of Architecture is so deeply imbued with the personality of its artistic director, in this case, the first woman in the history of the event, Ms. Kazuyo Sejima cinquantaquattrenne Japanese, who won this year with his partner Ryue Nishizawa ( with whom he established Sanaa) of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize. But not a bad thing, this bit of self when the main idea is to "overcome the conditions of isolation - to quote her - at a time when the most advanced technologies replace direct dialogue between people, returning a new sense of community. "
The Show. It is on this idea of" relationship "at times utopian and romantic, but also adventurous and fearless, and on its precise indicating each of the forty participants, including studies, architects, engineers, but also real artists from around the world that make up the exhibition of the newborn Palazzo delle Esposizioni in the Giardini and the Arsenale, reserving his personal and unprecedented interpretation, elaborating " autonomous scenarios of interaction between environment and society. "You are the Italians wanted by Sejima with choices not so obvious. Renzo Piano, Aldo Cibic (Cibic & Partners) that brings a new version of the "Microrealities (microrealtà as special forms of society based on the interactions of people with their environment). By Andrea Branzi, artist Luisa Lambri, by photographer Walter Niedermayr that processes three different visions of public space in Tehran, the homage to the architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914 - 1992) who worked mainly in Brazil in Sao Paulo focusing its projects on the concept of the report. As warns Kazuyo Sejima "begins every project by drawing the environment and the people who inhabit it. What more striking is the way the Brazilians occupy the space with their bodies. Create amazing environments, starting from these premises."
surveyors and outsiders. Among the star-bows, stands out, as previously announced, the Japanese Toyo Ito & Associates, with its walls to "Swiss cheese" Imagine a way to redefine the division inside-out, and the Dutch "flying" with his Rem Koolhaas OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) which will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (while the memory will be for the Japanese Kazuo Shinohara, who died in 2006) so that his special talent to create "buildings that encourage interaction between people, thus achieving ambitious goals for the architecture, this inspiring people of different disciplines that take great liberties with his work. " In addition to the memory of Cedric Price (1934-2003). Among the most borderline attendance, outstanding artists Janet Cardiff, Do Ho Suh, Olafur Eliasson, Marcela Correa that Smiljan Radic, influenced by the recent experience of the earthquake in Chile, has on display a huge stone on which is carved a cavity that receives only one viewer at a time. "An area that is conducive to reflection and meditation," said Sejima. Still highlight artists, like German Thomas Demand and Cerith Wyn Evans. And there is as an engineer Matthias Schuler of Transsolar, in collaboration with Tetsuo Kondo, offers a cloud of size "to its indefinite nature, ephemeral, installation stimulates a new interpretation of space by the spectator," Sejima says. And the critic Hans Ulrich Obrist performer who likes to design scenarios report through the word and the face, interviewing all the participants invited by Sejima and Arsenal making an installation with all the interviews collected.
national pavilions. This trip is then assisted in the metropolitan osmosis, according to tradition, from fifty-three holdings of national pavilions in the Giardini, which would exceed even with their presence between the Arsenal and the historic center of Venice. The newcomers see slide Albania, Bahrain, Iran, Rwanda, Thailand and Malaysia, the Artillery Arsenal, with the "Re / mixed", dedicated to thirty-seven projects selected among the most interesting Malaysian studies in progress, completed, or ideas that have been selected for several international competitions, all played on the relationship between architecture and nature. Browsing, who wants to discover what the future skyline of Copenhagen, Denmark can enjoy the pavilion that shows off an array of strings-star for the project Urban Questions, by Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskin. And France leaves extract the architectural perspectives of Greater Paris, next to Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille with the project "Metropolis."

Italian Pavilion. Do not miss the Hall Arsenal Italy with the exhibition "Ailati. Reflexes from the future", curated by Luca Molinari trying with reckless air of a survey of the recent past and imminent future of contemporary Italian architecture. Almost a diplomatic process to good and evil of a construct of creativity made in Italy. Between a crisis of conscience and ferments buttons. The path is complex, sometimes cumbersome to read, but ambitious enough to do downtown. The balance sheets of the last twenty years of Italian architecture, current affairs of this all to sound (through works constructed in recent years divided into 10 thematic areas emerging solidarity between projects, live below 1000 € per square meter, what to do with property seized at Mafias, emergency landscape, community spaces, new public spaces, cities rethink, archetype / prototype work in progress, grafts).

Arte Povera, immersion in nature is Vassivière Marisa Merz
Vassivière - Marisa Merz, Turin, Class '31 , a prominent figure of Arte Povera, wife of the great Mario (without being obscure, with celebrations from behind Documenta in Kassel at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Modern in London until the special prize at the Venice Biennale in 2001) is one of those artists sums, original and evocative grace that knows how to explore light and finest in the intimate link between art and life. He does it with his introspective and fragile creatures, wax and clay sculptures, soft materials, thin metal surfaces and threads woven copper, but also large canvases that trace in limbo evanescent bloodless female faces that speak in a deafening silence. Energy of a feminine aesthetic that is vibrant today its ideal location in the halls of Centre international d'art et du paysage de l'île de Vassivière that its structure is perfectly balanced with the environment, a real island, in harmony with the talks Vassivière Lake, one of the largest reservoirs of France, nestled north of the regional park Millevaches, which offers breathtaking views of natural jewels.
PICTURES AND first
'here until September 26 can be seen the exhibition of Marisa Merz by Chiara Parisi that curls exceptional new works and new productions created especially for the exhibition French, deeply inspired by the feminine dimension , where the remains of everyday life are transformed in appearance evocative of intimate spaces. As the curator says, "Marisa Merz is the image of a powerful and very feminine, or energy primordial. The fragility that at first seems to dominate his work, is none other than the appearance which shows the strength and gradually the great transgression of his work. "
The path within the Centre international d'art et du paysage becomes a paradigm of this force, so that we can say that the island is the show. The idea of the artist is to establish affinities between his visionary universe and the natural energies that characterize the island of Vassivière. An intimate fusion of nature and life that starts from the cylindrical core of postmodern Aldo Rossi, the summit climb of the entire museum center. Here the grass in a meadow green converse with needle blue figures that animate a large picture made on Japanese paper and illuminated by a frame with textures of copper, in a perfect musical counterpoint with the oval blue wax.
The path then becomes a wedge within the warmth of the center through the game works meticulously arranged. Here are the faces splattered in the middle of the canvas as "an emptiness, an emotion," to quote the artist, a tangle of wavy lines and thin, ethereal female faces appear slowly, with infinite delicacy, faint signs that suddenly come body laid at the feet of clay heads of the canvas. "The artist - says the curator, sees his art 'as all life', sees the world as subject to constant change, a shift of the chemical and alchemical, a progressive evolution, which is implied in all the forms that carry within their structure, can become another form. "
" In my imagination - reveals Marisa Merz - what I find, do not call it knowledge, to me, is happiness. As soon as it becomes knowledge, happiness is lost. Okay, I can not always do so it becomes knowledge, but sometimes I get this moment of happiness. E 'happiness linked to contact with myself and with the world, and the relationship between the two. The transformation into knowledge is almost simultaneous, inevitable. I do not know if it contains the knowledge pain. I think it's the repetition, something that you already know. Unlike the happiness that is a surprise, astonishment, quell'instante precise here. But I have a weird mind. "A curious, audio-guides are in iPod format and contain thoughts, concerns and stories about the artist's work by scholars and personalities from the art world, Danilo Eccher Dieter Schwarz.
And for those who want to explore in detail this unique museum, the building end of Aldo Rossi, what is its cafeteria, which overlooks the lake Vassivière, stands out the tea pavilion created especially for the space by ' architect Kengo Kuma. It 's the Fu-an, see until September 5, "a space for the tea ceremony that floats in the air", defines the artist himself: "And 'focusing on the essential and strong sense of poetry, we can create, in unfinished areas , an elegant living space that generates new ideas and important '. Kengo Kuma reinterprets the cafeteria of Aldo Rossi, transforming it into a bright, light, inviting contemplation and meditation, in which aesthetic experience and taste as found in traditional Japanese homes, the space devoted to the tea ceremony.

In Venice, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, an exhibition recalls the experiment of the French scholar, who tried to live under the sea. Hilario Isola and Matteo Norzi reflect on the mythical adventure in underwater installations and sculptures aquariums

So in honor of the museum becomes a myth Cousteau seabed
VENICE - A home under the sea, overlooking the world of Poseidon and the sirens as condominiums. Jacques Cousteau with the myth was almost at hand. In the early Sixties the great French oceanographer tried the incredible experiment to live under the sea. He chose the plateau south of Sh'ab Rumi, off the coast of Sudan, to implant a viallaggio structures on the seabed, through clouds of all types and colors of fish, including sharks and barracuda. A team of divers lived for almost forty days in the depths, bringing out the operation of underwater life "Precontinente two." A little less than fifty years to recall the company we think of two Italian artists, Hilario Isola and Matteo Norzi, with a fine show "A Ballad of the Flooded Museum, from 26 August to 10 October at the Palace of Titus Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, event organized with the support of the Contemporary Art Project, which opens in conjunction with the twelfth Biennale of Architecture.

It is no coincidence, because the exhibition, curated by Paola Nicolin, and it is recommended for lovers of sea and underwater worlds, for the bold of the seabed and the dreamers of underwater adventures, but it points above all, with the delight transfiguring typical of contemporary art and opera, to reflect on the concept of depth and abyss, in physical terms but also emotional. And the water, that water and ruthless magic of Jacques Cousteau, became the reflection of the extraordinary theater, with its ephemeral and unpredictable spatial dimension, where everything is played between reality and a distorted perception of reality. Almost a metaphor, warns the curator Paola Nicolin, the nature of the work of art itself staged in a museum, in the balance, if not the chasm between reality and fiction.
Turin Both, class '76, New Yorkers by adoption, and Norzi Island, in collaboration since 2003, focus their research and conceptual, in eposta Worldwide, about tricks of museology and architecture, flooded, to remain in the topic, with strong ties to art history. And their exhibition in Venice becomes a "dip" unusual and not at all trivial, meditative but never granted, the universe of saltwater. Appropriatisi experience of Jacques Cousteau, whose residential settlement is still visited by scuba diving in the Red Sea of Sudan, the two re-propose, in addition to collecting materials and documents related to the history of the pioneer of the seas, their review atraverso installations, sculptures, photographs, videos and drawings, with strategic jumps of scale affect the viewer by altering the perception of the exhibition space.
If the water is the element "heard" that creates and destroys, floods and protects, alters the essence of things, here the isolation and Norzi think about this borderline nature. It happens with underwater installations, sculptures, aquarium creatures in between plexiglass and sponges, glass with natural settlement of marine algae, paintings that evoke deep. A portion of the sea seems to live again in these rooms, as if to re-activate the utopian spirit of daring and fascinating, a great man of the sea. Useful
