Venice Architecture Biennial 2021
Neil Kerman, Antonio Spinosa, Nicolas Fiedler, Samuel Garcia, Edo Rocha, Jean Sardinha and Ricardo D’acundo, present their project: “The Path of Consciousness”. Art has always been an inseparable companion of architecture. In their project, the works of a visual artist, a designer and an architect, represent how Kerman reveals his sensitivity as a master of abstract chemistry. The Path of Consciousness is developed by five creative minds. It’s a collaboration among Neil Kerman’s paintings, the sculptural vision of Antonio Spinosa, the structural design of Nicolas Fiedler, the graphics of the architect Samuel Garcia and the reference of Edo Rocha’s stadium architecture.
The Path of Consciousness represents the connection between art, architecture and design, through the perfection of form and function. The concept is materialized by Kerman’s art by beautifying both Edo’s stadium and the sculpture created by Spinosa, Nicholas and Samuel.
Neil Kerman
Neil Kerman was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he now creates his art not far from the world-famous Coney Island, crediting the multi-faceted borough.
He is truly honored that he was also invited to exhibit his art around the world including Spain, Switzerland, England, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil and Monaco. In addition, it was his astounding privilege to have his works exhibited at the Louvre in Paris, France.
Antonio Spinosa
Antonio Spinosa’s carbon steel sculpture is graphic. This phrase would be absurd, if written in the 19th century; and immediately contested. This is because until the 20th century, sculpture was a volumetric form in space. The artist calls a series of his sculptures Fitas, others the series is Laços or Chamas, but the sculpture graphically traverses space, often such sculptural graphics form enigmas on the wall, like copper sheets, until they become illuminated panels. Finally, Spinosa’s graphic sculpture reached the ceiling, as it did in the decorated environment of Casa Cor, in an Architecture project.
Nicolas Fiedler
Nicolas Fiedler is the Creative Director of Fiedler Engineering, Advanced Design Researcher of e-Dau Institute and Consultant of Fiedler Institute of Tensile Structure Technology. Nicolas sees the future on the shoulders of his ancestors and understand that parametric, intelligent design can solve problems that didn’t even exist in the past. In the project The Path of Consciousness his design purpose was to create an atemporal structure, so genuine that can be installed anywhere, even in another planet, and still make you reflect on that specific environment.
Samuel Garcia
Samuel Garcia is an architect and one of the partners of Studio Papaya, a creative studio based in São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2015. The work developed by the studio encompasses different areas of activity and project scales, divided in three fields that complement each other: Architecture, Design and Visual Arts. From developing autoral projects to collaborating with renowned architects and designers, the studio acquired important recognition in its projects. The believes behind Papaya ́s works is that ideas deserve attention to the smallest details, that every idea can be translated into a project, have a history, an identity, become reality.
