Résumé:

The National Pavilions in the Giardini of the Venice Biennale in Essays and Photographs - A unique panorama of the Venice Biennial's 29 national pavilions in previously unpublished images by the Italian photographer Gabriele Basilico, and in essays by around 30 international architects, philosophers and artists. Common Pavilions is based on an exhibition curated by Diener & Diener Architects within the 13th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennial in 2012. Architecture's social and cultural reality was the theme of the 2012 exhibition, titled ±Common Ground. Bringing the architectural significance of the 29 national pavilions to the attention of visitors, who usually do not really notice these buildings and their individual character and atmosphere when seeing an exhibition there, was the aim of the Common Pavilions project. The celebrated Italian photographer Gabriele Basilico (1944-2013) has taken pictures of all the pavilions in the Giardini di Venezia. His masterful images are featured in large-format and lavish duotone printing. 30 authors from all 29 nations - architects, philosophers, and artists - have contributed short essays, writing on their national pavilion, its history and its identity as a space for presenting art. The essays appear in the book in English and in their original national language. Basilico's images and the essays merge into a rich and atmospheric panorama of what is probably the world's best known exhibition site. A selection of Gabriele Basilico's photographs is on display at Galerie Aedes Am Pfefferberg in Berlin. Introduction by Roger Diener and essays by Vito Acconci, Arnfinn Bø-Rygg, Monica Bonvicini, Alexander Brodsky, Eduard Bru i Bistuer, Dinu Bumbaru, Jean-Louis Cohen, Peter Cook, Hermann Czech, Marcelo Danza, Bogdan Ghiu, Amos Gitai & Ben Gitai, Jörg Haspel, Herman Hertzberg, Taro Igarachi, Zissis Kotionis & Elia Zenghelis, Marcel Meili, Henrieta Moravčíkova, Hyungmin Pai, Andras Palffy, Juhani Pallasmaa, Regina Silveira, Martin Steinmann, Peter Stutchbury, Adam Szymczyk & Monika Sosnowska, Carsten Thau, Milica Topalovic, Bart Verschaffel, Henry Vicente, and Tarek Waly. Diener & Diener Architects is a Swiss architectural firm with offices in Basel and Berlin. Gabriele Basilico (1944-2013) was a celebrated Italian photographer. Publisher's note.
Based on the Thirteenth International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennial in 2012, Common Pavilions investigates the architectural significance of the twenty-nine national pavilions set up for the event in the Giardini di Venezia. The late celebrated Italian photographer Gabriele Basilico has documented each pavilion, and his work is presented in large-format and lush duotone printing. His rich images reflect the atmosphere and character of the pavilions with care and attention to detail. Thirty authors from the nations represented, including architects, philosophers, and artists, have contributed short essays that present the historical and national context for each pavilion, and explain the architectural importance of the pavilion design itself. For anyone who attended the Venice Biennial and for all who missed it, Common Pavilions provides beautiful documentation of what may be the world's best known exhibition site for art and architecture.
