Sander breaks down the wall between two storied pavilions--designed by Bruno Giacometti and Carlo Scarpa--at Venice's Architecture Biennale
With her site-specific interventions, artist Karin Sander (born 1957) operates on the underlying structures defining space and institutions. She manipulates them, recontextualizes them and encourages their collective appropriation. For this monograph, the artist applies her method to ARCH+, tracing connections between the pages of the magazine and the wall as a constitutive element in artistic and spatial practice. Authors and collaborators commissioned by Karin Sander comment on her artistic practice. The publication also reflects upon Karin Sander and Philip Ursprung's contribution to the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale, titled Neighbours, which literally dissolved the wall separating the Swiss Pavilion from the neighboring Venezuelan Pavilion.
