Description
Time, political and historical circumstances, the thresholds of inclusion of different species, and the needs of the moment make the distinctive lines between host and guest porous. We are all guests on this earth and yet we are also all hosts. The San Marino Pavilion explores these dual roles in content and form; it is both a guest to the local community with which it coproduces, co-explores, and develops new relations, and a host to visitors wishing to experience the intimate and immersive sculptural works of Vittorio Corsini or co-create artefacts for local beings with students. The Pavilion questions the orientation, scope, practice, and materialisation of hospitality: past, present, and future.
