We are ready!
After one week of hard work, fighting with super aggressive mosquitos, we finished our installation. Although we had some small problems, our exhibition looks quite good. I'm looking forward to seeing Marc here. I hope he would say, "Fanta~stic!"
Actually video company did great job, four movies are nicely synchronized and show rhythmical presentation. One thing I cannot satisfy is that my panoramic movies are quite small and the quality was changed in order to show them like "film-show". I was expecting to show the dynamic activities of Addis, but it doesn't make strong impact. And, small thing,
Joerg forgot to put my name in the end of the movie...
Our project and model are also on the wall. I thought I could make the layout better, but it was out of my control. The team of Angelil chair did great job. Sometimes I feel that we have too much contents on the wall, maybe it is the complexity of the chair.
The exhibition catalog is also nicely done. People could read the book and understand the concept curation, and four exhibitions from each institution.
I haven't compared to other pavilions yet, but I think our pavilion has too much contents. I think if you want to show academic works, it might be complicated. So that the answer to the question of "What is the building beyond architecture" is not so clear.
Anyway, our exhibition is ready, now it's the time to visit other places, well socialized and enjoy my life in Venice!
