Architecture + Nature (2011)
AP207.S1.2011.PR02
Description:
The project series documents the filmed performance "Architecture + Nature" produced by Pettena in 2011. The performance consists of the word "architecture" written in the sand slowly being erased by the movement of the waves. "The sea breaks slowly on the sandy beach... On it architecture stays. And the sea and its waves break with slow, constant, inexorable movements, like a bewitching, continual, eternal melody... And gradually architecture is dematerialized [...]." [1] The project series contains a video of the performance, a drawing, and six film stills.

In Absence of Bodies (2011)
AP207.S1.2011.PR04
Description:
The project series documents the installation "In Absence of Bodies" designed by Pettena in 2011 for the Stromerein Performance Festival in Zurich, Switzerland. The installation consists of clothes lines hung in the main square of the city and refers to Pettena's previous installation "Laundry" in 1969. In this case "[...] it is not laundry that, being hung out in the main square of the city, polemically ‘violate’ the context of the power. Rather, it is a statement on the body in its absence, as the performance takes place in a dance and theatre festival where the body is always protagonist." [1] A second edition was also presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City, in 2013. The project series contains a drawing of the installation, a sketch, details for the hanging lines, a printout of a photo montage of the installation, and photographs and a video of the installation.

AP207.S1.2011.PR01
Description:
The project series documents the installation "La Linea Del Tempo" presented at the Galleria Quadro 096, in Fiesole, in 2011. The installation consists of an architect's drawing table, of which the top gives the illusion of sinking in. The installation is accompanied by a television playing Pettena's 1971 movie "Intens" playing on a loop. "The idea of presenting together things that were conceived in years so distant that they can easily be thought of as two different seasons of life is meant to underline the author’s conceptual coherence on the subject of his own interest regarding the architect’s profession." [1] The project series contains three photographs of the installation and a project description.

Description:
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.
