DAVID GARCIA EXHIBITS AT THE 18th VENICE ARCHITECTURE BIENNALE

David Garcia exhibits commissioned work “Walking the Flood Line” at the Danish Pavilion.

Under the heading Coastal Imaginaries, the Danish pavilion, curated by Josephine Michau, will shine a spotlight on nature-based design solutions in the struggle against global challenges like rising sea levels and storm floods.

The pavilion’s team represents a collaboration between landscape architectural firm Schønherr and leading researchers, artists, Danish industry organizations and scientific institutions.

“We’re in the middle of the Anthropocene Age – that is, the age of mankind – where geologists have declared humanity to be a geological force on equal terms with volcanoes, meteor strikes and tectonic shifts. Humans are contributing to many of the crises we are facing today, including the biodiversity crisis, the climate crisis, the environmental crisis, and the food crisis. We not only have the opportunity, but also the duty, to take action and reverse this trend, and the architects who design our physical surroundings play a vital role in this,” says the Curator Josephine Michau.

The project is carried out with support from, among others, Realdania, The Ministry of Culture and the Danish Art Foundation’s Architecture Committee.
