SPAZIALE PRESENTA | Sea Changes: Trasformazioni Possibili - Montiferru (Oristano), Sardegna
Sea Changes is the title of the sixth of nine site-specific interventions for “Spaziale presenta,” the preparatory component of “Spaziale: Everyone Belongs to Everyone Else,” the project by the collective Fosbury Architecture (Giacomo Ardesio, Alessandro Bonizzoni, Nicola Campri, Veronica Caprino, and Claudia Mainardi) for the Italian Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La #biennale di Venezia, promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.
This sixth intervention will take place in the Montiferru area, a mountainous section of west-central Sardinia, and will involve the participation of Lemonot (Sabrina Morreale and Lorenzo Perri), a platform for spatial and relational practices, as the designer, and the researcher Roberto Flore as advisor. The incubator of the project will be Cabudanne De Sos Poetas.
Complex and interconnected, systems of food production and consumption are often influenced by international dynamics that produce considerable knock-on effects. Over the past few years, major scientific studies have demonstrated the need and the urgency to rethink them from a more sustainable perspective.
But how can we create new systems that are also culturally relevant for future generations? And what impacts might they have on the micro-production chains specific to each region?
In an attempt to respond to these increasingly pressing needs, this collaborative project analyzes and interfaces with some of the characteristic food production chains in Sardinia, including those of Muggine and Bottarga (mullet roe), those of the Bue Rosso (Sardinian red cow) and Casizolu cheese of Montiferru, the supply chains of Pecora and Fiore Sardo Dei Pastori (pecorino cheeses), and also those of grain and wine such as Vernaccia di Oristano and Malvasia di Bosa.
“If we ever decide to concretely set out on the road to ecological transition,” argue the curators, Fosbury Architecture, “we should look at food as a complex ecosystem made up of energy-intensive, highly polluting processes marked by profound inequalities in the access to resources.”
In its breadth, the project for the Italian Pavilion is founded on Fosbury Architecture's vision that architecture is a research practice beyond the construction of buildings and that design is always the result of collective and collaborative work that goes beyond the idea of the architect-author. According to this vision, “space” is understood as a physical and symbolic place, a geographical area and abstract dimension, a system of known references and a territory of possibilities.
In the period from January to April, leading up to the opening of the #biennale #architettura 2023, “Spaziale presenta” will see the activation of nine site-specific interventions in as many locations chosen throughout Italy.
“Spaziale: Everyone Belongs to Everyone Else,” in the Italian Pavilion from May 20 to November 26, 2023, will be the formal and theoretical synthesis of the processes triggered in the nine regions in the previous months, providing a distinctive and original portrait of Italian architecture within the international context. The works in progress of “Spaziale presenta” and the activation of the nine interventions will be narrated step by step on the website www.spaziale2023.it and on the Instagram account @spaziale.presenta.
The curatorial project of the Italian Pavilion at the #biennale #architettura 2023 and all related details will be announced at a dedicated press conference (February/March 2023).
