Sky Castle / ENESS

August 25, 2021 Hana Abdel 0

Sky Castle is a dreamy, interactive sound and light installation, featuring a cluster of inflatable arches that span in colourful symphony across public space. As visitors move through the arches, their movement powers and progresses the melodic xylophone soundscape stimulating colour changes in each arch. Light, colour and music have been orchestrated to evoke the joy and hope that rainbows bring after every storm. As more people join the journey, the contemporary score crescendos in intensity creating a lush, orchestral piece that is different every night as it responds to crowd flow and fluctuations.

August 24, 2021 Hana Abdel 0

The Airship Orchestra by Melbourne art and technology company ENESS is reinvigorating cities across the world with a spectacular immersive art experience. The temporary artwork is a mystical tribe of 16 otherworldly inflatable sculptures (some up to six metres) all supported by a fully networked internal system of motion sensors enabling its characters to respond to passers-by; behave as a choir and ‘compose’ a fresh, generative score each night.

Tretyakov Gallery Pavilion / link.bureau

July 27, 2021 Pilar Caballero 0

The theme of building and renovation is almost fundamental for the Tretyakov Gallery in Samara. In the near future, the museum should move to the former building of a constructivist kitchen factory. Now, surrounded by scaffolding, it is returning to life. The temporary pavilion of the gallery assembled from the scaffolding for the Volgafest festival is a space immersed into the repair, which simultaneously becomes a symbol of the building of a kitchen factory and a metaphor for renewal and regeneration.

In the initial years of the Sixteenth century Raffaello Sanzio – and before him, at the end of the Fifteenth, Pinturicchio, Filippino Lippi, Signorelli and Sodoma – walked in the company of Giovanni da Udine through the mysterious frescoed galleries of a Domus Aurea not yet brought to light, buried by centuries of damnatio memoriae, land and Trajan buildings.  A maze made up of hundreds of rooms which, on the occasion of the anniversary of the death of the painter and architect from Urbino, host the exhibition curated by Vincenzo Farinella with Stefano Borghini and Alessandro D’Alessio, “Raphael and the Domus Aurea. The invention of the grotesques” inside the Octagonal Room and the five adjacent rooms.

Barista’s Kitchen / Estúdio Mineral + Cynthia Silva

In 2020, many uncertainties and reflections arose along with the process of social isolation resulting from the pandemic. We changed our habits, and most of our routines took place inside our homes. Facing such a chaotic and unstable world, the project reflects the search for feelings of coziness, protection, and human warmth. We looked back to the place of our most primordial memories to find this necessary warmth.
