spaziale. everyone belongs to everyone else is the title of the Italian Pavilion at the 18th. International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture and curated by Fosbury Architecture for the first time, a curatorial group consisting of architects born between 1987 and 1989 brings to Venice the instances of a new generation of designers under 40-nine groups of designers and as many advisors, professionals from different fields of the creative industries, for a total of about 50 people with an average age of 33.
The Italian Pavilion has been interpreted as an activator of concrete actions to benefit local territories and communities, beyond the idea that an exhibition should just be an “exhibition.”
Nine spatial practices were invited to collaborate, designers called to develop nine pioneering projects for the Italian Pavilion, selected on the basis of the attitude with which they operate, the territories in which they intervene, the means they use, the questions they raise and the answers they suggest and represent.

To make the nine projects genuine transdisciplinary products, each designer was paired with an advisor, drawn from other fields of creativity: visual artists and performers, food and artificial intelligence experts, writers and filmmakers.
Nine stations, geographic sites representative of fragile or transformative conditions in our country, were then identified, where each transdisciplinary group was asked to intervene. finally, each design group collaborated and continues to collaborate with a series of incubators-local actors such as museums, associations, and cultural festivals-with the aim of rooting each project in its territory of reference. In this way, the nine projects linked to the Italian Pavilion have configured the stages of an unprecedented geography, becoming symbolic destinations of a renewed journey to italy.

The project developed out of two moments expanding from the canonical months of the Biennale, a first spaziale moment, from september 2022 to may 2023, which saw the activations of the 9 projects on the territories, and a second spaziale. everyoen belongs to everyone else, the one of the duration of the exhibition that saw the translation of these within the Italian Pavilion.

The Italian Pavilion, for the duration of the exhibition, was by a public program entitled “Mondo Novo,” articulated in appointments-seminars, lectures, workshops, work-shops-on different venues.

Within this program, a series of five meetings was held at the Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, in Venice, thanks to the support of Bottega Veneta.
