Walls of Air: The Brazilian Pavilion at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale
Walls of Air was created for the Brazilian Pavilion at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale in May of 2018. Curated by Sol Camacho, Laura González Fierro, Gabriel Kozlowski, and Marcelo Maia Rosa, the exhibition attempts to uncover the visible and invisible walls that have built Brazil. It showcases several large-scale maps that weave together a narrative of issues that affect not only Brazil but also other countries in the Americas. The maps examine the borders of the country, the history of the foundation of its cities, the flows of people through migration, the fluxes of raw materials and commodities, the real estate market, and environmental questions.
"[Walls of Air] provoke[s] questions about the different sorts of walls that construct, on multiple scales, the Brazilian territory," says NESS Magazine about the exhibition.
"Walls of Air has become an instant-artifact from a more open Brazil," says Vic Vaiana about the exhibition.
“Walls of Air is a research exhibition model that maps contemporary Brazil beyond its frontiers,” says AS/COA's Gabriela Rangel to Artdaily.org about the current exhibition.
"Visually, the Brazil displayed throughout the exhibition is not bounded by national frontiers, but placed amid a fluid web of global and regional forces," said Matthew Marani in The Architect's Newspaper about Walls of Air.
