11th Venice International Architecture Exhibit
The Venice Arsenal and Gardens will host the 11th International Architecture Exhibit from September 14 - 23, 2008 entitled Out There: Architecture Beyond Building, directed by Aaron Betsky and organized by the Venice Biennale chaired by Paolo Baratta.
According to Aaron Betsky the exhibit "will point the way towards an architecture liberated from buildings to engage the central issues of our society; instead of the tombs of architecture, which is to say buildings, it will present site specific installations, visions and experiments that help us figure out, make sense of and feel at home in our modern world".
This year's challenge is to collect and encourage experimentation. This Biennale does not want to present buildings that are already in existence and can be enjoyed in real life. It does not want to propose abstract solutions to social problems, but wants to see if architecture, by experimenting in and on the real world, can offer some concrete forms or seductive images.
The 11th Exhibit Out There: Architecture Beyond Building will therefore present in the venues of Arsenale and Padiglione Italia at the Giardini, site specific installations, manifestos and utopian visions.
The award ceremony will take place on September 13 at the Giardini. On that occasion official awards will be assigned by the international jury. This year's Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement will be awarded to Frank Gehry.
