Croatian most awarded architects Penezić and
Rogina are invited by Biennales curator Aaron
Betsky to produce a site specific
installation that will occupy 270 m² in
Corderie Arsenale as a part of main
exhibition for the Venice Biennale.
The main exhibition is taking place in the
historic venue of the Corderie Arsenale from
the 14th of September until 23rd of November
2008. Penezić and Rogina architects will
exhibit together with the most influential
cognitive and experimental architectural
elite like Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid,
Morphosis, Coop Himmelb(l)au and Frank Gehry.
The installation 'Who's afraid of Big Bad
Wolf in Digital Age' by which Penezić and
Rogina architects will present themselves is
composed of three series of elements in
multiple varieties that symbolizes
architectural transformation from a
traditional view of architecture as a
shelter/condition towards architecture in
digital age where architecture will be viewed
as a medium; which is in accordance with A.
Betskys vision for this years Biennale 'How
can we reveal, appropriate, and domesticate
those systems, usually of a technological
nature, that control our daily lives, in such
a way that we can be at home in the modern
world.
