Stiel maakt monumentale maquette voor Sammy Baloji's 'Aequare: the Future that Never Was'
NL
In opdracht van Sammy Baloji (twentyninestudio) vervaardigde stielatelier een messing maquette van “Panorama Atmosphérique”, een paviljoen dat Congo moest representeren op de expo van 1935 in Brussel maar dat er nooit kwam. Panorama Atmosphérique zou een geo-hydrografische en klimatologische reconstructie van een verkenningsreis naar Belgisch Congo simuleren, en had als doel de invloed en vooruitgang van de koloniale onderneming in Congo te demonstreren. De maquette, een poëtische en kritische herinterpretatie van het project, wordt getoond op de (architectuur)biennale van Venetië 2023. Baloji’s presentatie ‘Aequare: the Future that Never Was’ bestaat uit drie onderdelen: naast de maquette worden er reisverslagen van Belgische landbouwkundigen en een video over het Yangambi Cultural Centre getoond.

Commissioned by Sammy Baloji (twentyninestudio), stielatelier produced a brass maquette of “Panorama Atmosphérique”, a pavilion that was supposed to represent Congo at the 1935 expo in Brussels but never came to be. Panorama Atmosphérique was to simulate a geo-hydrographic and climatic reconstruction of an exploratory trip to the Belgian Congo, and aimed to demonstrate the influence and progress of the colonial enterprise in the Congo. The maquette, a poetic and critical reinterpretation of the project, will be shown at the Venice (Architecture) Biennale 2023. Baloji’s presentation ‘Aequare: the Future that Never Was’ consists of three parts: in addition to the maquette, travel reports by Belgian agronomists and a video about the Yangambi Cultural Centre will be shown.
