From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project:
13 October 2023 Friday
Since last night, it's become very easy for me to imagine the Star Vengeance exhibition at the GES-2 House of Culture, Moscow filling the gap left by the empty Russian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023. Of course, there is nothing official about what I'm imagining here, yet Star Vengeance more or less does fill the empty Russian Pavilion gap perfectly. National architecture exhibits typically set out to present the very latest, most advanced design thinking/operations the respective nation has to offer at that time. In the case of Star Vengeance, multiple arts and artists are on display, and, instead of featuring the "very latest, most advanced," an "alternative picture of the world to the generally accepted one" is provided. The architecture on display is the physical design of the exhibit space itself. An empty Russian Pavilion in Venice is certainly a generally accepted picture of Russia at this critical time in its history. Star Vengeance offers an alternative picture to the generally accepted one at this critical time in Russian history.
The architecture of the exhibition space is one of coincidence and time in humanity...
