‘Unbuilding’ by Claire Fontaine


At the 12th Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy, French artist Claire Fontaine will showcase her work ‘Unbuilding’, an exploration of the construction and the deconstruction of spaces.

One of the highlights of her exhibition is ‘Counterpoison’,  a short film of an abandoned theatre in Glasgow, which has been ravaged by local kids and now provides shelter to wild animals. A neon light sign salvaged from the Glasgow theatre and a demolished shop called ‘Nursery World’ also form part of her works.

Claire’s works will be showcased at the Caterina Tognon Arte Contemporanea Gallery, Venice, from August 26th till November 21st 2010.
