Time Space Existence has announced this year’s participants for its Venice biennial exhibition. With over 200 architects and artists set to participate, the fourth edition includes internationally renowned figures such as Odile Decq, Peter Eisenman, Kengo Kuma, Daniel Libeskind, Fumihiko Maki, Richard Meier & Partners Architects, MVRDV, Toshiko Mori, Moshe Safdie and SOM.
Its titular concepts—time, space, and existence—shape the contours of the world around us. This is a continuing theme from the first three iterations of the biennial exhibition, and this deliberate endurance through time sets it apart in a frequently ephemeral cultural world. In posing expansive and existential questions to this year’s participants, it is hoped that new architectural approaches can emerge.
Time Space Existence will feature a wide range of projects, from models, concepts, research outcomes, thoughts, dreams and ideas from international architects, photographers, sculptors and universities at all stages in their careers. The works will be housed over three elegant locations in the heart of Venice—Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and the verdant Giardini Marinaressa.
The exhibition presents extraordinary opportunities for dialogue between different generations of architects, yet public engagement remains at its core. In line with its outward-facing ambition, the exhibition will be open to the public and completely free to attend.
Architect Daniel Libeskind will also be unveiling a new and monumental tower in the Giardini Marinaressa, entitled Facing Gaia. A project for the Anthropocene, the work pulls together ideas about the climate, time and space. This work is kindly sponsored by GRIP Metal.
Time Space Existence is organized by the European Cultural Centre with the support of the GAA Foundation.
