You can find us at a few events during the opening days of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

At 6pm on Wednesday, 7 May, join us at Ca’Buccari in Venice at 6pm for conversations over drinks as we launch the second volume of The Museum Is Not Enough and present our latest film, To Build Law as part of the Biennale program, in collaboration with bplus.xyz, station.plus, and HouseEurope!.

In 2019, we published a series of collective reflections on architecture, cultural institutions, and the public. We called it The Museum Is Not Enough. That first volume (No. 1–9), co-published with Sternberg Press, built on thematic investigations the CCA had undertaken in recent years.

The second volume (No. 10–14), co-published with Lenz, extends these lines of thinking while reflecting an urge to step beyond the limits of the institution and experience things on the ground.

The presentation takes place at Ca’Buccari (Calle Buccari 3, Sant’Elena, 30132, Venezia).
