Tadao Ando: Architecture Bridging Time
amanaTIGP is pleased to present Tadao Ando鈥檚 exhibition, 鈥淎rchitecture Bridging Time鈥� from July 9 to August 13, 2022. The exhibition marks Ando鈥檚 first solo presentation at amanaTIGP and will feature a total of 22 works, including four from his new portfolio ANDO BOX VII published in correspondence to this exhibition, as well as two architectural models, a series of original drawings, and 15 photographic prints from ANDO BOX VI released in 2019.
ANDO BOX VII focuses on the renovation projects of two historic buildings: Punta della Dogana, the former Customs House of Venice originally built in the 17th century and the Bourse de Commerce, a Commodities Exchange built in the 18th century that was in operation until the beginning of the 21st century. Both of these buildings have been transformed from public institutions into exhibition spaces for contemporary art, centering on the private collection of Fran莽ois Pinault. For Ando, the renovation of buildings engraved with history is a theme that he has continued to engage with throughout his extensive career. In his renovation projects, Ando does not aim for reconciliation between the old and new. Instead, he acknowledges the independency of each space, acting as a mediator between the old and new to encourage a dialogue between them in his effort towards restoration. The elaborate details indicated in the drawings and prints, as well as the models reproduced on a 1/300 scale, serve to theoretically explain the structure of Ando鈥檚 architecture in the context of renovation.
