      Fake Venice

      txt: Interview With Andrew Potter: Travel and the Search for Authenticity - www.worldhum.com
      For instance, let’s say the absolute fake is going to some Italian restaurant in some fake Venice in Vegas. That’s the absolute fake. Here in Toronto, where I live, you can go down to little Italy and go to an authentic Italian restaurant, probably run by real Italians. And then you could actually go to Venice. And once you’re there, you can either go to the tourist traps they have all set up for tourists, or if you’re really lucky you know a local who will actually make you a dinner in Venice, which you would call the epitome of authenticity. So all these things have varying degrees of authenticity to them and, not coincidentally, they have varying degrees of priciness attached to them. And so, and the ultimate is to get something that nobody can actually buy at all and that would be having somebody who lives in Venice, a friend of a friend, cook you a meal. Which nobody could even buy on the open market. Which makes it completely authentic.

      Kazuyo Sejima: borders matter less than relations

      txt: Introduction by Kazuyo Sejima, director of the 12th Venice International Architecture Exhibition
      We are more connected than ever, our culture, as well as our economy, has become global. Because of this, people’s consciousness and lifestyles change, theoretically and substantially. Sometimes relationships get shaped through indirect communication. Still, we believe that architecture plays a signi?cant role in this: it has the power to open up new perspectives. We imagine ideas that can have far reaching effects. These dreams come from many sources and may represent a new independent freedom that is essentially inherent to contemporary culture. [...] The idea is to help people relate to architecture, to help architecture relate to people, and to help people relate to themselves.
      txt: Kazuyo Sejima appointed as Director
      We are now well into the 21st Century. We can take this opportunity to step back and assess the zeitgeist of now through the process of the Biennale. This can clarify contemporary essentials of architecture and the importance of new relationships as we step into the future. One potent point of departure could be the boundaries and adaptation of space. This might include the removal of boundaries, as well as their clarification. Any part of architecture’s inherent multiplicity of adjacencies can become a topic. It might be argued that contemporary architecture is a rethinking and perhaps softening of those borders.

      txt: Venice Biennale Architecture www.labiennale.org
      On May 3rd, the President of the Venice Biennale, Paolo Baratta, and the Director of the Architecture section, Kazuyo Sejima, presented the 12th International Architecture Exhibition, titled People meet in architecture, that will run in Venice 29th August to 21st November 2010 (Preview on 26-27-28 Aug). Two major projects will be developed for the 12th Exhibition: the Architecture Saturdays (a series of conversations, performances and weekly discussions with architects and critics) and the greater involvement of the Universities (educational opportunities for students)
      txt: Statement of the President of La Biennale di Venezia, Paolo Baratta
      A philosopher would say that the Exhibition is just a device for aesthetic education, aiming at making one’s spirit to “go beyond” by letting the visitor widen the perspectives of his own actions and thoughts, and leading him towards a more courageous consideration of the potential, we have to effectively shape the space where we live.

      txt: Stranded by the volcano, a traveler learns to go with the flow - www.washingtonpost.com
      After visiting the Amarone producer, I had another sunny lunch at a restaurant facing Lago di Garda. This is the same region D.H. Lawrence wrote about in his classic 1916 travel book, "Twilight in Italy." Lawrence uses the slow peasant existence around Lago di Garda as a metaphor for all that is good and pure in the world, setting it against what he calls the "purpose stinking in it all, the mechanising, the perfect mechanising of human life." "Yet what should become of the world?" he writes. "The industrial countries spreading like a blackness over all the world, horrible, in the end destructive. And the Garda was so lovely under the sky of sunshine, it was intolerable."

      Best wishes and good luck on your new job, Mr. Orsoni txt: Inaugural address of the Venice Mayor Giorgio Orsoni - Venezia, 26 aprile 2010
      The water town and the land town will be one big metropolis, with different characteristics that complete and reinforce each other, but should increasingly be linked especially in the common objectives. The city can be a large workshop of the contemporary culture production and of the green and immaterial economy, and may be the capital of the new era that awaits us: a paradigm city, a landmark of the world where the future is announced or builded. [it] Città d’acqua e città di terra saranno un'unica grande metropoli, con caratteristiche diverse che si completano e rafforzano, ma devono essere sempre più collegate e unite soprattutto negli obiettivi comuni. La città che può essere allo stesso tempo grande officina della contemporaneità, della produzione culturale e dell’economia verde e immateriale, proprio per questo può essere capitale della nuova era che ci aspetta: una città paradigma uno dei luoghi simbolo del mondo in cui si annuncia o si costruisce il futuro.

      Give a bòcolo to your love: it's St. Mark day. txt: April 25th - St. Mark day - comune.venezia.it
      April 25th is the feast of St. Mark, the Venice patron saint. In ancient times on this day a famous procession took place in the Piazza; religious and civil authorities as well as a deputy of artists took part in it. Also nowadays St. Marcus Day is celebrated with a procession in the Basilica.There is a hugely widespread tradition among Venetian men on this day: the gift of a bocolo, that is a red rosebud to the women they love best.

      Venice has long been famous for being the city that is partially under water. Sea level rise associated with global warming would have an enormous impact on that city and the surrounding region. You can use the map below to zoom in on Venice and surrounding cities to observe the potential impact of sea level rise.
