The Pavilion of Humanity
The 57th Biennale of Venice
2017
The Pavilion of Humanity at the 57th Biennale of Venice (2017) raised the question of the role of arts and culture in times of crisis, political upheaval and change. The celebrated showcase, with memorable pieces such as a room constructed from 25,000 men’s, marked a momentum in the world's most important art exhibition.
Delara proudly project-managed this resounding success at the 57th Venice Biennale, which defied geographical and political borders and made headlines in the opening week, receiving rave reviews.
“The ties line the floor, the walls and the fireplace; they cover the overstuffed sofa, the stag’s head on the wall, the mounted rifle and even the pipe on the table. Certainly a must of this Biennale edition.”
