Scope and Content

The project series documents the installation "Uno Spazio Per Pierre" designed by Pettena in 2011. It was presented in Turin at the Artissima 18, in 2011. The installation consists of a metal beam structure that is shaped like house. On the inside of the structure there is a table and chairs. The layout of all the elements inside the structure is based of the golden ratio. "Designed and built for a friend, Pierre Bal Blanc, this archetypal space [...] presents the artist/curator with a ‘tabula rasa’, that is to say with endless creative possibilities.." [1]

The project series contains sketches and photographs of the installation.
