- The 1980 Architecture BiennaleThe Street as a Spatial and Representational Curating Device
- Abstract
- Besides strongly advocating postmodern architecture, the Strada Novissima presented at the 1980 Venice Architecture Biennale put forward an innovative spatial and representational curatorial device. Proposing both ‘the street as an exhibition’ and ‘the exhibition as a street’, it focused on the representational power of architecture. This article shows how the exhibition format of the street of façades was more than a mere formal invention, but became a critical and political tool in the hand of the exhibition curator.
