Home Economics

Great Britain

The British Council presents Home Economics, a show that challenges the status quo of residential architecture by inviting artists, designers, and architects to produce 1:1 scale environments. The exhibition examines the role of the home in British society and culture and explores the changing patterns of life and social norms through five architectural proposals that respond to different periods of time spent in domestic spaces. The show raises questions about the function of homes, their economic value, and their evolving spatial requirements.

Presented as a supermarket, its "products" feature the text from every national biennale exhibit from the last decade, boiled down to its essence through Al. It sticks a pin into the whole ball of hot air. Thank you for that.

Latvia is reopening the archive boxes once again, reminding us (including the Biennial Presidency) of everything that has already been thought up and invented, and inviting us to place the most urgently needed products in the basket, to combine them with one another, and ultimately consume all the knowledge.

Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
