Future Assembly
The “collective exhibition within the Exhibition” in the Central Pavilion, Giardini
The exhibition is a collaboration between Studio Other Spaces and six co-designers. Following the call by the curator of the Biennale Architettura 2021, Hashim Sarkis, to envision a space at the centre of the exhibition where all participants can come together, Studio Other Spaces and the project co-designers have proposed a multilateral contribution on the mezzanine of the Central Pavilion at the Giardini.
Represented by its founders, artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann, Studio Other Spaces (SOS) is collaborating especially for this occasion with Caroline Jones, professor of art history; Hadeel Ibrahim, activist; Kumi Naidoo, ambassador for Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity; Mariana Mazzucato, professor and founding director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London; Mary Robinson, chair of the Elders and adjunct professor of climate justice at Trinity College, Dublin; and Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
The walls surrounding the overall mezzanine of the Central Pavilion chart a living collection of attempts by humans to recognise and secure the rights of nature during the 75-year history of the UN Charter. It spurs the question, what will the next 75 years bring?
