Coming soon. Visions from the minimum territory ("Próximamente") is the title of the Uruguay Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2021, which will take place between May 22 and November 21, 2021.
In order to answer How will we live together?, the statement proposed by the Venice Biennale 2021 curator Hashim Sarkis, the Uruguayan curatorial team led by Federico Lagomarsino, Federico Lapeyre, and Lourdes Silva replied with a playful montage that not only addresses a spatial but also temporal proximity.
As the curators state, "throughout time, the table has functioned as a device for narration and coexistence, making it a powerful communication field, where the public and the private, the domestic and the territorial can coexist. While in Uruguay we built a black table—a memorial in the public space of the city—, the white table travels to Venice. The generous architecture is proposed as a table-screen, available land to rehearse future futures. This table invites us to take a seat, immerse ourselves in a conversation and be part of it, at a time when human proximity has been put in crisis."
