Project
AP207.S1.2014.PR05
Description:
The project series documents the installation "Architecture Ondoyante", designed by Pettena and presented at the FRAC Lorraine in Metz, in 2014. The installation consists of hanging long strips of white plastic on the facades of the FRAC building "to confuse the well-defined and somewhat austere space of the building that hosts the FRAC, wrapping it in light and movement would have overturned the grain of static, centuries-old architecture." [1] A similar installation, "Forgiving Architecture" was realized in 2009 at the Athens Biennale. Another edition of the installation was presented in the exhibition "Gianni Pettena. About non conscious architecture" at the Galleria Giovanni Bonelli in Milan, in 2017. The project series contains three sketches, a drawing, and photographs and videos of the installation.
