LIMBO SPACE
The Embassy and General Consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands presents, in collaboration with Het Nieuwe Instituut: LIMBO SPACE, the third edition of The Greenhouse Talks. The event took place on 25th May 2018, 9 to 11 am, at the InParadiso Art Gallery, just in front of the Giardini della Biennale’s entrance in Venice, during the days of preview of the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
The light format that characterizes the Greenhouse Talks since 2012, where conversations are triggered as the audience enjoys breakfast with croissants and cappuccinos, offered once again to professionals and media the chance to meet with some of the protagonists of the international architectural debate. Invited guests elaborated on the theme of this year’s Biennale, as proposed by the directors Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara and entitled Freespace, and on the topic proposed by the Dutch Pavilion, commissioned by Het Nieuwe Instituut, titled Work, Body, Leisure.
The curator of this new edition of the Greenhouse Talks Aaron Betsky – president of the School of Architecture at Taliesin – who conducted the conversation with a group of exceptional guests, chosen for their ability to critically observe and to interpret with their works of architecture what he has called LIMBO SPACE. Photographer Iwan Baan and architects Maria Claudia Clemente (Labics), Nathalie de Vries (MVRDV), Elizabeth Diller (Diller Scofidio + Renfro), Andrés Jaque (Office for Political Innovation) helped to reflect on the theme and the conditions that it can generate in architecture, in the global context. Architect and researcher Marina Otero Verzier, director of research of Het Nieuwe Instituut and curator of the 2018 Dutch Pavilion, finally offered some concluding remarks on the topic.
